[ verse 1:]
MIm SIm
The time I think most clearly
LAm MIm
The time I drift away
SOL RE
Is on the busride that meanders
|C |D (try C - sounds good too! :)
Up these valleys of green and grey
MIm SIm
I get to think about what might have been
LAm MIm
And what may yet come true
SOL RE
And I get to pass these rainy miles
DO DO
Thinking of you
[ bridge 1: ]
DO DO
And all the while, all the while
SIm SIm
I still hear that call
DO DO
From the land of gold and poison
SIm SIm
That beckons to us all
[ verse 2: ]
MIm SIm
Nothing changes here very much
LAm MIm
You used to say it never will
SOL RE
The pubs are all full on friday nights
DO RE
And things get started still
MIm SIm
You spend hours last week with Billy-boy
LAm MIm
Bleeding, yeah queueing in casualty
SOL RE
Stare at those posters we used to laugh at
DO DO
In heaven neverland, palmtrees by the sea
[ bridge 2 ]
DO DO
There was no need for these guys to hurt him so bad
SIm SIm
When all they had to do was knock him down
DO DO
But noone asks too many questions, not anymore
SIm SIm
Since you left this town
Chorus
SOL RE
And tomorrow brings another train
SIm DO
Another young brave steals away
SOL RE
But you're the one I remember
SIm DO
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: ]
SOL RE
Then I guess you'll never read these letters that I've sent
SIm DO DO
From the valleys of the green and the grey
SIm LAm MIm
V
Valleys of the green and the grey
