Intro
E A E A
[Verse 1]
E A
Five hundred thousand English pounds
A E
For this old house and a piece of ground,
E A
You and your wife have always planned
A E
To settle down in Cotswold land.
[Chorus]
B C#m
Well you’d best come in, you’d best sit down
B E
It’s such a long drive from London town
E A
Would you like some tea now while I tell?
A E
The reasons why I will not sell.
[Verse 2]
E A
This stone built house that you call nice
A E
Was gained at far too high a price,
E A
For me to gaily sign away
A E
What others toiled for night and day.
B C#m
They hammered bluestone by the yard
B E
And they found the rent when times where hard,
E A
And they lived and died beneath the sun
A E
Tending the fields you gaze upon.
[Verse 3]
E A
Well they’re all gone, but as for me
A E
The wild hare still runs as free,
E A
And at dusk the badger travels still
A E
Ancestral highways on the hill.
B C#m
I am as Cotswold bred as these
B E
And I still need these field and trees,
E A
And I need the soil that bore my race
A E
And holds their bones beneath this place.
[Verse 4]
E A
Enough for me this cot of stone,
A E
a might of land to call my own
E A
C# friend to drink with, wife to smile
A E
and Cotswold country by the mile
B C#m
So take your cup and drain it down
B E
you would be peasants from the town
E A
Go on your journey let me bide
A E
content in my own countryside
[Verse 5]
B C#m
You say you’ll pay five hundred pounds
B C#m
For this old house and a piece of land,
E A
Well London’s about four hours for me
A E
But in your 4 x 4 you’ll do it in three.
