Em
The time I think most clearly
    G
The time I drift away
          Am
Is on the busride that meanders
         C                     Cmaj7
Up these valleys of green and grey
  Em
I get to think about what might have been
    G
And what may yet come true
      Am
And I get to pass these rainy miles
C            Cmaj7
Thinking of you
C
And all the while, all the while
 Em7
I still hear that call
         C
from the land of gold and poison
      Em7
that beckons to us all
Em
Nothing changes here very much
    G
You used to say it never will
    Am
The pubs are all full on friday nights
    C                   Cmaj7
And things get started still
          Em
You spend hours last week with Billy-boy
               G
Bleeding, yeah queuing in casualty
Am
Stare at those posters we used to laugh at in heaven neverland
C                 Cmaj7
palmtrees by the sea
C
There was no need for these guys to hurt him so bad
              Em7
When all they had to do was knock him down
           C
But no one asks too many questions, not anymore
Em7
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
    Em
You used to talk about winners and losers all the time
      G
As if that was all there was
   Am
As if we were not of the same blood family
   C
As if we live by different laws
       Em
Do you owe so much less to these rain swept hills
         G
Than you owe to your good self?
      Am
Is it true that the world has always got to be
                               C         Cmaj7
Something that seems to happen somewhere else?
        C
Oh, for god sake don?t you realize
     Em7
That I still hear that call?
                    C
Do you think you?re so brave to just go running
              Em7
To that which beckons to us all?
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
                Em
No, not for one second did you look behind you
   G
As you were walking away
      Am
Never once did you wish any of us well
C
Those who had chosen to stay
       Em
And if that?s what it takes to make it
       G
In the place where you live today
     G                                D
Then I guess you?ll never read these letters that I?ve sent
         Bm                        C
From the valleys of the green and the grey
 Bm             Am            Em
Valleys of the green and the grey
