VIDEO: HUCK presents... frank Turner - Sweet Albion Blues
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.
