WESSEX BOY- FRANK TURNER- ENGLAND KEEP MY BONES This song probably won't be so popular amongst people who aren't actually from Wessex and don't know what the buttercross is, but I am, so I think the song's awesome and deserves tabbing. There are probably plenty of errors, my ear isnt amazing. Listen to the song to get the strumming, there are also plenty of hammers and pull-offs in there to make it sound interesting, but these are the chords. Standard Tuning RIFF: G C e|---3--3--3--3--3------x--x--x--x--x------| B|---3--0--3--3--3------3--3--3--3--3------| G|---0--0--0--0--0------0--0--0--0--0------| D|---0--0--0--0--0------4--2--0--0--0------| A|---2--2--0--0--0------3--3--3--3--3------| E|---3--3--3--3--3------x--x--x--x--x------| (Last 2 strums of each chord are lighter) INTRO: RIFF x4 VERSE:

^GLet me tell you all a little story of the things I've ^Cfound, ^GHanging out and drinking with my friends in the cathedral ^Cgrounds, And ^Glater dodging drunks as we dance along Jury ^CStreet, As we ^Gwander up town to the railway our friends to ^Cmeet,

CHORUS:

There's ^Dsomething about coming back to your hometown again, The ^Gplace where you grew up and where you found your firmest friends, And though ^Dnone of them still live here, I've got nowhere to go, I'm a ^CWessex Boy and when I'm here I'm home

RIFF x4 Verse:

^GLet me tell you all a little story of the things I've ^Clost, ^GHuddling for warmth on the top step of the Butter^Ccross, ^GSitting on the benches by the bridges at the river^Cside, ^GCounting down the hours for the buses cause I missed my ^Cride

CHORUS:

BRIDGE:

^BAnd one day I will ^Chear this song a^Gnonymous and ^Dsweet, ^BRinging out from a ^Cbuskers guitar on the ^Gancient city ^Dstreets, ^BI'll pause a while and ^Csmile before I con^Gtinue on a^Dlone, ^EAnd somebody else will sing the words and ^CI'll feel like I'm home

RIFF x8 (with 'Ba Ba Ba's, increasing in volume) CHORUS

There's ^Dsomething about hometowns you never can escape The ^Gtriumphs and the tragedies, the tawdry little fates, The ^Dwelling of nostalgia and feeling kind of strange, Cause des^Cpite the little changes yeah this place still feels the same

There's ^Dsomething about coming back to your hometown again, The ^Gplace where you grew up and where you found your firmest friends, And ^Dthough none of them still live here, I've got nowhere to go, I'm a ^CWessex Boy, I'm a ^CWessex boy and when I'm here I'm home

RIFF x4 (With 'Ba Ba Ba's) D (4 bars, finishing with 7th fret harmonic)
