F, Am, G, Em
F, C/G, G*, Am, G* (x2)
[Verse]
F Am I am the small town linesman G Em And you'll find me out here on the line. F C/G G* Searching ceaselessly to simply Am G* F Find a place i can call mine. Am G Every corner of this country Em F Criss-crossed out with coloured lines. C/G The city lies before me, G* Am G* C/G Another city sprawling out behind.
[Chorus]
Em C/G Cos I'm a frontiers man, Em Trapped in suburban England.
[Verse]
F Am Since the Scramble ended, G Em Since the West was won on wagon trails, F C/G G* It seems the Mazzini's paradisical Am G* F Panopticon prevailed. Am G My walkabouts no longer take me Em F Beyond a choice of different jails. C/G G* Why should i have to choose a state Am G* C/G When every one of them has failed?
[Chorus]
Em C/G Cos I'm a frontiers man, Em Trapped in suburban England.
[Post-Chorus]
Dm C And i promise not to overthrow the state D#(slide up C shape) If allowed to redraw the atlas before Dm C I emigrate.
[Bridge]
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/G Em C/G Cos I'm a frontiers man, Em Trapped in suburban England.
[Post-Chorus]
Dm C And i promise not to overthrow the state D#(slide up C shape) If allowed to redraw the atlas before Dm C I emiiigrate. Dm C And I'd gladly leave your Metternich's alone D#(slide up C shape) As long as where Dm C I lay my head i can be my very own.
[Intro]
F Am G Em
F C/G G* Am G* C/G I am the Winchester liiiiiiiineman.
[Chorus]
Em C/G Cos I'm a frontiers man, Em Trapped in suburban England. C/G Em But here I will not remain- C/G No I'll ride into the sunset, Em Dm Where my horse waits on the plain, C slide to D# And I keep walking the liiiiiiiiiiiiine.
