Intro:
F, Am, G, E minorEm
F, C/B, G*, Am, G*    (x2)

Verse:
FF     A minorAm
I am the small town linesman
G+G         E minorEm
And you'll find me out here on the line.
FF     C/BC/B      G*
Searching ceaselessly to simply
    A minorAm   G*    FF
Find a place i can call mine.
   A minorAm       G+G
Every corner of this country
       E minorEm         FF
Criss-crossed out with coloured lines.
     C/BC/B
The city lies before me,
G*       A minorAm   G*  C/BC/B
Another city sprawling out behind.

Chorus:
       E minorEm    C/BC/B
Cos I’m a frontiers man,
         E minorEm
Trapped in suburban England.

Verse:
FF     A minorAm
Since the Scramble ended,
  G+G       E minorEm
Since the West was won on wagon trails,
FF        C/BC/B      G*
It seems the Mazzini's paradisical
 A minorAm  G*   FF
Panopticon prevailed.
    A minorAm        G+G
My walkabouts no longer take me
     E minorEm          FF
Beyond a choice of different jails.
       C/BC/B            G*
Why should i have to choose a state
      A minorAm   G*    C/BC/B
When every one of them has failed?

Chorus:
       E minorEm    C/BC/B
Cos I’m a frontiers man,
         E minorEm
Trapped in suburban England.

Post-Chorus:
DmDm          C majorC
And i promise not to overthrow the state
   D#(slide up C majorC shape)
If allowed to redraw the atlas before
 DmDm C majorC
I emigrate.

Bridge:
(clear in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L9jbQFBB8O0)
So I have sailed the seven seas alone,
Trying to find a shore I can call home.
But all i found are different flags,
Double-speaking diplomats, and
I do not have time for that.
So I'll declare my own sovereign state,
The borders based on the
Bottoms of my boots,
And i will open embasies
Wherever the hell i please,
And at assemblies
You will see me sat
But never on my knees.

Chorus:
C/BC/B      E minorEm    C/BC/B
Cos I’m a frontiers man,
         E minorEm
Trapped in suburban England.

Post-Chorus:
DmDm          C majorC
And i promise not to overthrow the state
   D#(slide up C majorC shape)
If allowed to redraw the atlas before
 DmDm C majorC
I emiiigrate.
DmDm             C majorC
And I'd gladly leave your Metternich's alone
    D#(slide up C majorC shape)
As long as where
              DmDm C majorC
I lay my head i can be my very own.

I am the Winchester liiiiiiiineman.

Chorus:
       E minorEm    C/BC/B
Cos I’m a frontiers man,
         E minorEm
Trapped in suburban England.
C/BC/B       E minorEm
But here I will not remain-
C/BC/B
No I'll ride into the sunset,
     E minorEm           DmDm
Where my horse waits on the plain,
             C majorC slide to D#D#
