[ verse 1:]
Em Bm
The time I think most clearly
Am Em
The time I drift away
G D
Is on the busride that meanders
|C |D (try C - sounds good too! :)
Up these valleys of green and grey
Em Bm
I get to think about what might have been
Am Em
And what may yet come true
G D
And I get to pass these rainy miles
C C
Thinking of you
[ bridge 1: ]
C C
And all the while, all the while
Bm Bm
I still hear that call
C C
From the land of gold and poison
Bm Bm
That beckons to us all
[ verse 2: ]
Em Bm
Nothing changes here very much
Am Em
You used to say it never will
G D
The pubs are all full on friday nights
C D
And things get started still
Em Bm
You spend hours last week with Billy-boy
Am Em
Bleeding, yeah queueing in casualty
G D
Stare at those posters we used to laugh at
C C
In heaven neverland, palmtrees by the sea
[ bridge 2 ]
C C
There was no need for these guys to hurt him so bad
Bm Bm
When all they had to do was knock him down
C C
But noone asks too many questions, not anymore
Bm Bm
Since you left this town
Chorus
G D
And tomorrow brings another train
Bm C
Another young brave steals away
G D
But you're the one I remember
Bm C
From these valleys of the green and the grey
[ Verse 3: ]
You used to talk about winners and losers all the time
As if that was all there was
As if we were not of the same blood family
As if we live by different laws
Do you owe so much less to these rain swept hills
Than you owe to your good self
Is it true that the world has always got to be
Something that seems to happen somewhere else
[ Bridge 3: Same as Bridge 2 ]
Oh, for god sake why don't you realize
That I still hear that call
Do you think you're so brave to just start running
To that which beckons to us all
Chorus
And tomorrow...
[ End: same Chords as Chorus ]
Oooh, not for one second did you look behind you
When you were walking away
Never once did you wish any of us well
Those who had chosen to stay
And if that's what it takes to make it
In the place where you live today
[ Special: ]
G D
Then I guess you'll never read these letters that I've sent
Bm C C
From the valleys of the green and the grey
Bm Am Em
V
Valleys of the green and the grey
