Intro:  E 


Verse: 
E -(MUTED/MUFFLED) 
I came down from Newcastle town                     E 
To the part of the south coast that I love the most. 
E -(MUTED/MUFFLED) 
I was stretched out tight after a couple of nights          E 
Going crazy in Glasgow, I think you all know how that goes. 
A 
I needed some peace, somewhere to stand still,             
Through the Cotswold hills down to Portland Bill, 
         E 
And to charge up my batteries for next weekend,              
Where I'd be cruising through Cardiff and ending up in Southend. 
    B 
So don't go stopping and putting down roots 
          A-(MUTED/MUFFLED)                        E 
Or your shoes won't fit in your travelling boots. 


Verse: 
E -(MUTED/MUFFLED) 
I met a guy from Cornwall who'd never left the county        E     
I told him about the big smoke, I don't think he believed me. 
E -(MUTED/MUFFLED) 
I told him about the scene along the south coast to Kent,                E 
Across the estuary to East Anglia, and then I think he knew what I meant. 
   A 
A man is bored of life if he's bored of these islands, 
All creation is here from Hythe to the Highlands. 
 E 
The Black Country witnessed my basest predations 
And the road up to Hull is paved with wicked intentions. 
    B 
So don't go stopping and putting down roots 
          A-(MUTED/MUFFLED)                       E 
Or your shoes won't fit in your travelling boots.
