Euros Childs - Second home blues

^C When city life it starts to get tiring ^C Like an old bathroom I need re-tiling ^C That's when we like to ah get away ^C To our little cottage down in West Wales

We ^Clike to get down there three four times a year We'd visit more but it's so far from ^Bbhere... ^F And the ^Cplace it could do with a fresh lick of paint But we got it so cheap you can't really com^Bbplain...^F

^C Ah in the morning I can be found ^C Out in the garden in my dressing gown ^C And Mother Nature she speaks to me ^C Through her bird bird song and rustling trees

^CDriving around in a four by four Through ^Ccountry lanes we head to the ^Bbshore...^F Then ^Coff to our favorite restaurant nearby Their ^Clocally sourced lobster is simply di^Bbvine...^F

^C The little old lady that lives next door ^C Her names Gwenllian she's ninety four ^C Says she remembers how it use to be ^C Chapels were full but now they're empty

I ^Cknow what she means when you're walking around town There's ^Cno one to meet 'cause there's no one a^Bbround...^F But we've be^Cfriended a couple from Leatherhead He ^Cworks for the Beeb and his wife is a ^Bbvet... ^F

^Am Trudging Once more through ^Emsheets of rain A^Amnother grey day Christ they're ^Emall the same And there's ^Fnothing to ^Cdo might as well be ^F180^C2 When the ^Ammarket picks up we'll ^Emtake a chance Sell ^Amup and buy a place in the ^Emsouth of France Because ^FI couldn't live ^Chere not in a ^Fmillion ^Cyears
