G
One way system, smooth and commendable

D
Go by bus, they're highly dependable

    C
The swings in the park for the kids have won awards

Am                   D
The clean streets, acknowledged in the Lords

G
But what's a park if you can't see a linnet

Em
A timetable if your journey's infinite

Am
My bag's packed and I'm leaving in a minute

D
For what is Chatteris without you in it?

G
Car crime's low, the gun crime's lower

D
The town hall band's CD, it's a grower

    C
You never hear of folk getting knocked on the bonce

Am                            D
Although there was a drive by shouting once

G
But there's a brass band everywhere

Em
And I don't drive, so I don't care

         Am
And as a nightingale sang in Berkeley Square

D
What's Chatteris if you're not there?

       G
Like a game-bird reserve short on pheasants

Em
Weavers' cottages devoid of tenants

  Am
A market town that lacks quintessence

D
That's Chatteris without your presence 

G
Three good butchers, two fine chandlers

   D
An indoor pool and a first class cake shop

C
OFSTED plaudits, envy of the fens

Am                D
Prick barriers at both ends

G
But what's Chatteris if you're not there?

Em
What's Chatteris if you're not there?

Am
What's Chatteris if you're not there?

D
What's Chatteris if you're not there?

G
What's Chatteris if you're not there?

E
What's Chatteris if you're not there?

  Am                D          G - D - G - D - G - D - G - D/F# - G
I may as well be in Ely or St. Ives
