E5 B5 E5 As I camped out one evening to take the midnight air A5 B5 I heard a maiden grieving from somewhere over there A5 E5 A5 E5 Who is it you are mourning; for whom do you wear grey? A5 E5 F#5 B5 She said I pine for no one - I just can't pay my way. A5 E5 B5 E5 Ever since the chattering classes invaded Hebden Bridge A5 E5 F#5 B5 And priced the likes of me and mine to the pots of the Pennine Ridge A5 E5 A5 E5 To South East Wales I was forced to flee and now I have no job A5 B5 E5 That's why tonight I'm sitting on top of Lord Hereford's Knob. B5 E5 For you I'd waive expenses to try and help you out A5 B5 For your beauty influences the landscape hereabouts A5 E5 A5 E5 Look up my betrothed at Three Cocks; be sure she'll see you right A5 E5 F#5 B5 While I go up to Yorkshire and there avenge your plight. A5 E5 B5 E5 Soon reports were filtering through to me the pair were drowning in bliss A5 E5 F#5 B5 I can't recall having ever been cuckolded quite like this A5 E5 A5 I gave up hope ironically for Lent, E5 A5 B5 E5 Come see me living in a bivvie if you're ever up Pen-Y-Ghent. B5 E5 Although upon reflection I've been a trifle green A5 B5 I still think with affection on everything that's been A5 E5 A5 E5 So prepare that fatted calf and string up the bunting gay A5 E5 F#5 B5 Your brisk and bonny ploughboy is coming home today. E5 B5 E5 B5 And tonight he'll be sitting on top of Lord Hereford's Knob. E5 B5 E5 B5 Tonight he'll be sitting on top of Lord Hereford's Knob. E5 B5 On touching the trig point I found my thrill E5 B5 To the east Brokeback Mountain, to the west Benny Hill E5 B5 I'll give you the grid ref - you might like to go: E5 B5 SO2 24350. E5 B5 Could this be heaven, would that be the Severn? E5 B5 Twampa, Twampa, you're gonna need a jumper, E5 B5 E5 B5 It gets a bit chilly on top of Lord Hereford's Knob. E5 B5 E5 Tonight he'll be sitting on top of Lord Hereford's Knob. B5 E5 All of our songs sound the same; B5 E5 Tonight he'll be sitting on top of Lord Hereford's Knob. B5 E5 I'm keeping two chevrons apart; B5 E5 Tonight he'll be sitting on top of Lord Hereford's Knob. B5 E5 You're the reason why paradise lost; B5 E5 Tonight he'll be sitting on top of Lord Hereford's Knob.
