E
I come from the land of the Wessex DownsFrom the Hampshire hills, near Winchester town
In the country where the soft South rivers flow down
B E to the English channel I roam A G E And this is where I call home E I sing for my supper and I'm pretty well fed
I cross this island and I make my bed
Where I can find a crowd and somewhere to lay my head
B E When the travelling day is done A G E And all my songs have been sung
[Chorus]
C#m A E But honey, I was lonely on the road, I was all on my own C#m A E Hanging out sad in the back of a death metal show C#m A I saw you standing there with your hair down low E B C#m A kink in your step that made me want to know A E If you would like to take me home B A E Who'd have thought that a French kiss from a Parisian girl would capture an English boy?
[Verse 2]
E
She comes from the channel's other distant shoreFrom the land of revolution and Agincourt
From a king's blood stain on a tricolour
B E And a culture a little too high A G E for an English boy like me E She doesn't know the island I grew up upon
The valleys and the hills that I've roamed along
And she doesn't like my clothes and she doesn't like my songs
B E But she's still my mademoiselle A G E And it goes to show you never can tell
[Bridge]
A
'Cos she was a quiet oneShe was a shy one
E She was the prettiest at the show A She crept up so slowly
She crept up behind me
E But still she pretended that she didn't know A But oh, then she fixed me
And then she kissed me
F#m And she's yet to let me go G#m A D And though I'm far away, across the sea F#m G#m A B I'm singing for the hope that she would ever remember me
[Chorus]
C#m A E So honey, when you're lonely on the road, and you're all on your own C#m A E Hanging out sad at the back of the country show C#m A Picture me there with my hat down low E B C#m A smile upon my face to let you know A E That I would like to take you home C#m A E B C#m That I would like to take you home, to the hills that I know A E B C#m I would like to take you home, to the places I go A E B I would like to take you home B A E And that's the way that a French kiss from an English boy can capture a Parisian girl
