[Intro]
F, Am, G, Em
F, C/G, G*, Am, G* (x2)
[Verse]
FI am the smAmall town linesman
GAnd you'll find me Emout here on the line.
F C/G G*
Searching ceaselessly to simply
Am G* F
Find a place i can call mine.
Every Amcorner of this cGountry
Criss-crossed Emout with coloured lFines.
The city lC/Gies before me,
G* Am G* C/G
Another city sprawling out behind.
[Chorus]
Cos I’m a fronEmtiers man,C/G
Trapped in suburbEman England.
[Verse]
FSince the SAmcramble ended,
SincGe the West was Emwon on wagon trails,
F C/G G*
It seems the Mazzini's paradisical
Am G* F
Panopticon prevailed.
My walkaAmbouts no longer tGake me
Beyond a Emchoice of different jFails.
C/G G*
Why should i have to choose a state
Am G* C/G
When every one of them has failed?
[Chorus]
Cos I’m a fronEmtiers man,C/G
Trapped in suburbEman England.
[Post-Chorus]
DmAnd i promise not to Coverthrow the state
D#(slide up C shape)
If allowed to redraw the atlas before
I DmemiCgrate.
[Bridge]
(clear in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L9jbQFBB8O0)
So I have sailed the seven seas alone,
Trying to find a shore I can call home.
But all i found are different flags,
Double-speaking diplomats, and
I do not have time for that.
So I'll declare my own sovereign state,
The borders based on the
Bottoms of my boots,
And i will open embasies
Wherever the hell i please,
And at assemblies
You will see me sat
But never on my knees.
[Chorus]
C/GCos I’m a fronEmtiers man,C/G
Trapped in suburbEman England.
[Post-Chorus]
DmAnd i promise not to Coverthrow the state
D#(slide up C shape)
If allowed to redraw the atlas before
I DmemiCiigrate.
DmAnd I'd gladly leave your MCetternich's alone
D#(slide up C shape)
As long as where
I lay my head i can be my vDmery Cown.
[Intro]
F Am G Em
F C/G G* Am G* C/G
I am the Winchester liiiiiiiineman.
[Chorus]
Cos I’m a fronEmtiers man,C/G
Trapped in suburbEman England.
C/GBut here I will Emnot remain-
C/GNo I'll ride into the sunset,
Where my Emhorse waits on the plaiDmn,
C slide to D#
And I keep walking the liiiiiiiiiiiiine.
