INTRO: 
E MajorE
VERSE:
E MajorE -(MUTED/MUFFLED)
I came down from Newcastle town E MajorE
To the part of the south coast that I love the most.
E MajorE -(MUTED/MUFFLED)
I was stretched out tight after a couple of nights E MajorE
Going crazy in Glasgow, I think you all know how that goes.
A augmentedA
I needed some peace, somewhere to stand still,
Through the Cotswold hills down to Portland Bill,
E MajorE
And to charge up my batteries for next weekend,
Where I'd be cruising through Cardiff and ending up in Southend.
BB
So don't go stopping and putting down roots
A-(MUTED/MUFFLED) E MajorE
Or your shoes won't fit in your travelling boots.
VERSE:
E MajorE -(MUTED/MUFFLED)
I met a guy from Cornwall who'd never left the county E MajorE
I told him about the big smoke, I don't think he believed me.
E MajorE -(MUTED/MUFFLED)
I told him about the scene along the south coast to Kent, E MajorE
Across the estuary to East Anglia, and then I think he knew what I meant.
A augmentedA
A majorA man is bored of life if he's bored of these islands,
All creation is here from Hythe to the Highlands.
E MajorE
The Black Country witnessed my basest predations
And the road up to Hull is paved with wicked intentions.
BB
So don't go stopping and putting down roots
A-(MUTED/MUFFLED) E MajorE
Or your shoes won't fit in your travelling boots.

BREAK: (PLAY RIFF OVER THESE WORDS)
All across the hills and valleys,
From the A augmentedA roads to the seas,
The suburbs lead up to the cities,
And that's where you'll find me.

And that's where you'll find me.
VERSE:
A augmentedA
Go mad in Manchester, wind down in Winchester,
Roaming the home counties, where the parties are free,
E MajorE
Circling London like dirt round a storm drain and
Somewhere near Holborn's the heart of the beast.
BB
Don't go stopping and putting down roots

Sweet Albion surround me, you're everything I know.
