A5            A5       A5             E5          E5         A5
From the heart of the Southern Downs, to the North-East London reservoirs,
         A5               A5        A5                 E5    E5         A5
From the start, the land scaped my sound, before I'd ever been to America.

       D5         E5               A5     E5        D5
And if I knew anybody who played pedal steel guitar,
        D5          E5                A5          E5        D5
I'd get them in my band and then my band would get real far,
          D5                E5                   A5         E5     D5  
But I was raised in middle England, and not in Nashville Tennessee,
        D5           E5             A5
And the only person in my band is me.

         A5           A5     A5          E5         E5        A5
A simple scale on an old guitar, and a punk rock sense of honesty.
         A5              A5   A5           E5            E5         A5
I cannot fail, I've got this far with no knowledge of mid-west geography.

       D5         E5               A5     E5        D5
And if I knew anybody who played pedal steel guitar,
        D5          E5                A5          E5        D5
I'd get them in my band and then my band would get real far,
          D5                E5                   A5         E5     D5  
But I was raised in middle England, and not in Nashville Tennessee,
        D5           E5             A5
And the only person in my band is me.

B5                D5         A5                   E5           B5
   And yes I'm in four-four time, and yes I use cheap cheap rhymes,
                    D5        A5
But I try to make a sound my own.
B5                D5         A5                    E5           B5
   I know I don't break new ground, many have travelled this sound,
                     D5          A5
But I try to make it sound like home.

          A5                             A5
Well I've been to Texas state, I didn't think it was that fucking great,
    D5                           E5
And Nebraska is just a bunch of songs,
             A5                  D5
Holloway and Hampshire where I belong.
    D5               E5              A5     E5        D5
And I don't know anybody who plays pedal steel guitar,
        D5              E5             A5      E5     D5
All the city roads are twisted and I do not own a car.
      D5                E5                   A5         E5     D5  
I was raised in middle England, and not in Nashville Tennessee,
        D5           E5             A5
And the only person in my band is me.
