[Intro]
A C#m Am B7 E
[Verse 1]
E B7 E As I camped out one evening to take the midnight air A B7 I heard a maiden grieving from somewhere over there A E A E Who is it you are mourning; for whom do you wear grey? E C#m F#7 B7 She said I pine for no one - I just can't pay my way A E B7 E Ever since the chattering classes invaded Hebden Bridge A E F#7 B7 And priced the likes of me and mine to the pots of the Pennine Ridge A E To South East Wales I was forced to flee and now I have no job E Esus4 A B7 E That's why tonight I'm sitting on top of Lord Hereford's Knob
[Riff]
A C#m Am B7 E
[Verse 2]
E B7 E For you I'd waive expenses to try and help you out A B7 For your beauty influences the landscape hereabouts A E A E Look up my betrothed at Three Cocks; be sure she'll see you right E C#m F#7 B7 While I go up to Yorkshire and there avenge your plight A E B7 E Soon reports were filtering through to me the pair were drowning in bliss A E F#7 B7 I can't recall having ever been cuckolded quite like this A A7 E I gave up hope ironically for Lent E Esus4 A B7 E Come see me living in a bivvie if you're ever up Pen-Y-Ghent

[Verse 3]
E B7 E Although upon reflection I've been a trifle green A B7 I still think with affection on everything that's been A E A E So prepare that fatted calf and string up the bunting gay E C#m F#7 B7 Your brisk and bonny ploughboy is coming home today E A B7 E A B7 And tonight he'll be sitting on top of Lord Hereford's Knob E A B7 E A B7 Tonight he'll be sitting on top of Lord Hereford's Knob
[Outro]
E Asus2 B7 On touching the trig point I found my thrill E Asus2 B7 To the east Brokeback Mountain, to the west Benny Hill E Asus2 B7 I'll give you the grid ref - you might like to go E Asus2 B7 S O 2 2 4 3 5 0 E Asus2 B7 Could this be heaven, would that be the Severn? E Asus2 B7 Twmpa, Twmpa, you're gonna need a jumper E A B7 E A B7 It gets a bit chilly on top of Lord Hereford's Knob E A B7 E Tonight he'll be sitting on top of Lord Hereford's Knob Asus2 B7 E All of our songs sound the same A B7 E Tonight he'll be sitting on top of Lord Hereford's Knob Asus2 B7 E I'm keeping two chevrons apart A B7 E Tonight he'll be sitting on top of Lord Hereford's Knob Asus2 B7 E You're the reason why paradise lost A B7 E Tonight he'll be sitting on top of Lord Hereford's Knob
