Ghost Mice – England (Guitar)

   A                        
We got off the plane in the cold, cold rain

     E
Lost track of the hour, lost track of the day

        D                     Bm              E
We were very far away from anywhere we'd been before

   A
We got on a bus and we went to the city

    E
Got off at a stop because we liked the name

        D
We were in for an adventure

           Bm              E
And that's all we knew for sure

       D               F#m              E
And we walked until we couldn't walk no more

Bm                    E (single strum)
Jet lag and sore feet led us to the door

      A    
Of an expensive noisy bed

               E
Where we could rest our heavy heads

   D
We slept away the rest of the day

    Bm            E
And well into the night

       A              F#m        Bm
And we woke up with a hunger for life

                E
Well before the sun rised

   A
We didn't have money to ride the underground

      E             
So we walked the miles and miles of this town

     D
When night fell like a rock we realized

Bm                         E             A
We were never gonna find a patch of open ground

                        E
And the rain was comin' down

                             D
And the trains were shuttin' down

                          Bm
We were worn out, wet and lost

             E             A
There was no shelter to be found

   A   
We spent over a week of our budget

     E
On a taxi and a bed

    D
And we made plans at night to escape

     Bm        E
This expensive wonderland

         A     
We would set out for the wild

         E
We would see what was beyond

         D
We would sleep above the soil

             Bm            E
And we would travel by our thumbs

    D                E
And written above my hostel bed

   A               F#m
In black marker it said

           D
"There's a light

       E          A
And it never goes out"

   A
We didn't have a clue what we were doin'

   E
We didn't even know where we wanted to go

         D
The next day we took the tube all the way

    Bm                E
Out to the end of the line

   A
It took us five hours to find a place to stand

   E
We stuck out our thumbs, we raised our hands

       D
It was rainin' hard again

    Bm             E
But we were not surprised

D               F#m
No one wants to pick you up

E
When you're soakin' wet

       Bm              D
It was hard not havin' second thoughts

      E (single strum)
About goin' on this trip

       D                   A
And we ate the rest of our hostel bread

        D          A
Under a dark, damp underpass

   D                   A
We watched the cars go past

    D               A
The sun was sinking fast

    D                 A
But salvation came at last

     D                A
In a little blue hatchback

    E                D              A
And he took us a few miles down the road

    A 
The day was almost over

       E
It was hard not to give in

       D
We had made it outta the city

        Bm                                   E
We were thinkin' about givin' up and settin' up our tent

      A
But a Jeep pulled over then

       E
And he told us to get in

   D
He said his name was Nick

              Bm               E (single strum)
Right away he felt just like a friend

       D               E
And he took us to some land

           A              D
Where some people live on buses

  D           E
Invited us to stay the night

    A
And we could not refuse

   D                E
We got a bus of our own

       A   
And it had a soft, warm bed

   D              E
We built a little fire

       A
And we dried our soaking shoes

       Bm             E
And we slept, yeah we slept

                 A
Just like little babies

    A
The next day at Stonehenge

              E
We couldn't afford to get in

   D
We thought it would be free, 

           Bm                E
We were surprised to see the fence

     A
This day would set the theme

        E
Of this trip for you and me

         D
We could pay to see the sights of Europe

   Bm                 E
Or we could choose to eat

       D                    F#m
And we pressed on to an old Roman city

       E
And we made it before night

Bm                D
We broke down and bought some fries

     E (single strum)
Just so we could get dry

    D         A   D          A   D          A
And curse the sky, curse the sky, curse the sky

   E             A
It rains all the time

   A
We found a spot to pitch our tent

E
It was our first night in it

    D
The rain soaked in, the ground was cold

   Bm           E
It sank into my bones

       A           F#m             Bm
And we decided that it was way too cold

                      E
To keep goin' the way we had planned to go

    A                         E
And that night we agreed that we would turn around

     D                                  Bm             E
We'd head for warmer ground, we'd start makin' our way south

       D         E              A               D
Oh you can't get lost if you've got no place to go

    D                  E              A               D
You can't take a wrong turn if you're not on your way home

       Bm                D       E      A
And we realized just how free we really were
