Intro:
C7C7 C majorC C7C7 C majorC

Verse 1:
C majorC
 When city life it starts to get tiring
C majorC
 Like an old bathroom I need re-tiling
C majorC
 That's when we like to ah get away
C majorC
 To our little cottage down in West Wales

Chorus 1:
  C majorC
We like to get down there three four times a year
                   Bb majorBb   FF
We'd visit more but it's so far from here...
    C majorC
And the place it could do with a fresh lick of paint
                      Bb majorBb   FF
But we got it so cheap you can't really complain...

Verse 2:
C majorC
 Ah in the morning I can be found
C majorC
 Out in the garden in my dressing gown
C majorC
 And Mother Nature she speaks to me
C majorC
 Through her bird bird song and rustling trees

Chorus 2:
C majorC
Driving around in a four by four
    C majorC              Bb majorBb   FF
Through country lanes we head to the shore...
   C majorC
Then off to our favorite restaurant nearby
   C majorC                  Bb majorBb   FF
Their locally sourced lobster is simply divine...

Verse 3:
C majorC
 The little old lady that lives next door
C majorC
 Her names Gwenllian she's ninety four
C majorC
 Says she remembers how it use to be
C majorC
 Chapels were full but now they're empty

Chorus 3:
 C majorC
I know what she means when you're walking around town
    C majorC                   Bb majorBb   FF
There's no one to meet 'cause there's no one around...
      C majorC
But we've befriended a couple from Leatherhead
  C majorC                  Bb majorBb   FF
He works for the Beeb and his wife is a vet...

Bridge:
A minorAm              E minorEm
  Trudging Once more through sheets of rain
 A minorAm               E minorEm
Another grey day Christ they're all the same
      FF     C majorC           FF C majorC
And there's nothing to do  might as well be 1802
     A minorAm          E minorEm
When the market picks up we'll take a chance
   A minorAm            E minorEm
Sell up and buy a place in the south of France
    FF        C majorC        FF    C majorC
Because I couldn't live here  not in a million years
