[Verse 1]
E                                       
I come from the land of the Wessex Downs
From 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 shore
From 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 one
She 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
