Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Intro:
C7 C C7 C

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

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

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

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

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

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

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