Ghost Mice - England

We ^Agot off the plane in the cold, cold rain Lost ^Etrack of the hour, lost track of the day We were ^Dvery far away from any^Bmwhere we'd been ^Ebefore

We ^Agot on a bus and we went to the city Got ^Eoff at a stop because we liked the name We were ^Din for an adventure And that's ^Bmall we knew for ^Esure And we ^Dwalked until we ^F#mcouldn't walk no ^Emore Bm E (single strum) Jet lag and sore feet led us to the door Of an ^Aexpensive noisy bed Where we could ^Erest our heavy heads We ^Dslept away the rest of the day And ^Bmwell into the ^Enight And we ^Awoke up with a ^F#mhunger for ^Bmlife Well before the ^Esun rised

We ^Adidn't have money to ride the underground So we ^Ewalked the miles and miles of this town When ^Dnight fell like a rock we realized ^BmWe were never gonna find a ^Epatch of open ^Aground

And the rain was comin' ^Edown And the trains were shuttin' ^Ddown We were worn out, wet and ^Bmlost There was no ^Eshelter to be ^Afound

We ^Aspent over a week of our budget On a ^Etaxi and a bed And ^Dwe made plans at night to escape This ^Bmexpensive ^Ewonderland

We would ^Aset out for the wild We would ^Esee what was beyond We would ^Dsleep above the soil And we would ^Bmtravel by our ^Ethumbs

And ^Dwritten above my ^Ehostel bed In ^Ablack marker it ^F#msaid "There's a ^Dlight And it ^Enever goes ^Aout"

We ^Adidn't have a clue what we were doin' We ^Edidn't even know where we wanted to go The next ^Dday we took the tube all the way Out ^Bmto the end of the ^Eline

It ^Atook us five hours to find a place to stand We ^Estuck out our thumbs, we raised our hands It was ^Drainin' hard again But ^Bmwe were not sur^Eprised

^DNo one wants to ^F#mpick you up ^EWhen you're soakin' wet It was ^Bmhard not havin' ^Dsecond thoughts E (single strum) About goin' on this trip

And we ^Date the rest of our ^Ahostel bread Under a ^Ddark, damp ^Aunderpass We ^Dwatched the cars go ^Apast The ^Dsun was sinking ^Afast But ^Dsalvation came at ^Alast In a ^Dlittle blue hatch^Aback And ^Ehe took us a few ^Dmiles down the ^Aroad

The ^Aday was almost over It was ^Ehard not to give in We had ^Dmade it outta the city We were ^Bmthinkin' about givin' up and settin' ^Eup our tent But a ^AJeep pulled over then And he ^Etold us to get in He ^Dsaid his name was Nick Bm E (single strum) Right away he felt just like a friend

And he ^Dtook us to some ^Eland Where some ^Apeople live on ^Dbuses In^Dvited us to ^Estay the night And ^Awe could not refuse We ^Dgot a bus of our ^Eown And it ^Ahad a soft, warm bed We ^Dbuilt a little ^Efire And we ^Adried our soaking shoes And we ^Bmslept, yeah we ^Eslept Just like little ^Ababies

The ^Anext day at Stonehenge We couldn't af^Eford to get in We ^Dthought it would be free, We were sur^Bmprised to see the ^Efence This ^Aday would set the theme Of this ^Etrip for you and me We could ^Dpay to see the sights of Europe Or ^Bmwe could choose to ^Eeat

And we ^Dpressed on to an old ^F#mRoman city And we ^Emade it before night ^BmWe broke down and ^Dbought some fries E (single strum) Just so we could get dry

And ^Dcurse the ^Asky,^D curse the ^Asky,^D curse the ^Asky It ^Erains all the ^Atime

We ^Afound a spot to pitch our tent ^EIt was our first night in it The ^Drain soaked in, the ground was cold It ^Bmsank into my ^Ebones And we ^Adecided that^F#m it was way too ^Bmcold To keep goin' the way ^Ewe had planned to go And ^Athat night we agreed that ^Ewe would turn around We'd ^Dhead for warmer ground, we'd start ^Bmmakin' our way ^Esouth

Oh you ^Dcan't get ^Elost if you've ^Agot no place to ^Dgo You ^Dcan't take a wrong ^Eturn if you're ^Anot on your way ^Dhome And we ^Bmrealized just how ^Dfree we ^Ereally ^Awere
