Frank Turner - Wessex Boy Chords and tab by Neil Wicker wicker101@hotmail.co.uk you can watch my cover of this on youtube here - http://www.youtube.com/watch'v=OorUuENrTRE (it demonstrates the "picky" sections as well) intro: Dsus4, Em7, G x4 (no G last time)

^DLet me tell you all a little story of the t^Em7hings I've fo^Gund, ^DHanging out and drinking with my friends in the cath^Em7edral gro^Gunds, ^DAnd later dodging drunks as we dance along J^Em7ewry St^Greet, ^DAs we wander up town to the railway our fr^Em7iends to ^Gmeet,

There's ^Dsus4something about coming back to y^Em7our hometown again, The p^Glace where you grew up and where you found your firmest friends, And though ^Dsus4none of them still live here, I've ^Em7got nowhere to go, I'm a ^GWessex Boy and when I'm here I'm h^Dome

^DLet me tell you all a little story of the t^Em7hings I've lo^Gst, ^DHuddling for warmth on the top step of the ^Em7Buttercro^Gss, Si^Dtting on the benches by the bridges at the^Em7 riversid^Ge, ^DOf counting down the hours for the buses cause I ^Em7missed my ri^Gde

And one day I will h^Gear this song a^Em7nonymous and ^Dsweet, Ringing ^Bmout from a bu^Gskers guitar on the ^Em7ancient city s^Dtreets, I'll p^Bmause a while and s^Gmile before I c^Em7ontinue on a^Dlone, And s^Em7omebody else will sing the words and I^G'll feel like I'm home

the 0's here are played fast and quietly (you could probably go without them) e|--10--7---------------------------------------------------------| B|----------10---------7--5--3---------3---------------7--5-------| G|--------------(0-0)-----------(0-0)-----4--2---------------7----| D|----------------------------------------------(0-0)-------------| x3 A|----------------------------------------------------------------| E|----------------------------------------------------------------| play this during the ba ba ba's: e|--10--7-----------------| B|----------10--7--5--3---| G|------------------------| x4 D|------------------------| A|------------------------| E|------------------------|

There's s^Dsus4omething about hometowns you ^Em7never can escape The t^Griumphs and the tragedies, the tawdry little fates The we^Dsus4lling of nostalgia, the f^Em7eeling kinda strange Cause d^Gespite all the little changes, this place still feels the same

There's s^Dsus4omething about coming back to y^Em7our hometown again, The p^Glace where you grew up and where you found your firmest friends, And though ^Dsus4none of them still live here, I've ^Em7got nowhere to go, I'm a ^GWessex Boy, a Wessex boy and when I'm here I'm h^Dome
