1ST VERSE
C majorC
Yeah I'm up at Ridgeway
Now I'm down the Moorings, right next to the Debenhams
And I'll be Port forever
G+G * FF
Yes it is my lifeblood
These streets they are a part of me
The yin to my yang
The Craig to my Bellamy
G+G * C majorC
Catch me in the kitchen
I've got cheese I'm melting it
Caerphilly, bread and ham
Hey presto it's a Rarebit
G+G * FF
Head out to Caerleon
Off-white transit
Febreeze on the dash for the stain where my nan sits
G+G * C majorC
Out for the big one, sniffin' on the miaow miaow
DJ on the ones and twos, spinnin' Little Bow Wow
G+G * FF
On the dancefloor raving, pack of 16 Benson
Someone fighting bouncers...turns out it's Gavin Henson
G+G * C majorC
Big up to Plaid Cymru, and the Welsh Assembly
Big up to Millennium: we don't need no Wembley
G+G * FF
Keep your Big Apple...
We'll have a tangerine
Bugger of Alicia, Shirley Bassey is our queen
G+G * A minorAm
Round here we stick together
G+G
Like birds of a feather...
E MajorE
Except we're not from Chigwell...
We're from the small Welsh town of...
CHORUS
FF
Newport
G+G A minorAm
Concrete jumble, nothing in order
C majorC
Not far from the border....
FF
When you're in Newport
G+G A minorAm
Chips and curry makes you feel brand new
C majorC
Washed down with a Special Brew
FF
Repeat the word Newport, Newport, Newport
2ND VERSE
C majorC
Catch me at Gwent Dragons in my fleece watching real sport
Shit, I make the Dragons' fleece more famous than the Argonauts
G* FF
And now that I've made it here I can make it anywhere
Signed a girl's baubles when I headlined at the local fair
G+G * C majorC
Yeah know the D MajorD to the V to the LA
Dad said "Get a job with them ," but Swansea's too far away
G+G * FF
So look me up on Google -- I'm seven pages in
Was in the local paper, Mam threw it in the bin
G+G * C majorC
She didn't see the article calling me a rap star
Ripped it into pieces, and used it for the hamster
G+G * FF
Tom Jones, Steve Jones, Zeta Jones, traffic cones
If you come and visit use the Designated Parking Zones
G+G * C majorC
There's a snooker hall, see but I'm not a member...
And a lovely shopping centre opened in December
G+G * A minorAm
So head over the water
G+G
On the transporter
E MajorE
Fifty for the toll booth
Male Voice Choir singing out...
CHORUS
FF
Newport
G+G A minorAm
Twinned with Guangxi, Province in China
C majorC
There's no province finer
FF
Josie D'Arby's from Newport
G+G A minorAm
Yes, it's strange, we didn't know either...
C majorC
Thank you Wikipedia
FF
Let's say some more Newport, Newport, Newport
