New Model Army – Green And Grey (Guitar)

    Em
The time I think most clearly

    G
The time I drift away

          Am
Is on the bus ride that meanders

         C                     Cmaj7
Up these valleys of green and grey

  Em
I get to think about what might have been

    G
And what may yet come true

      Am
And I get to pass these rainy miles

C            Cmaj7
Thinking of you

C
And all the while, all the while

 Em7
I still hear that call

       C
To the land of gold and poison

      Em7
That beckons to us all

Em
Nothing changes here very much

    G
You used to say it never will

    Am
The pubs are all full on Friday nights

    C                   Cmaj7
And things get started still

         Em
We spent hours last week with Billy-boy

               G
Bleeding, yeah queuing in casualty

Am
Staring at those posters we used to laugh at

                 C                 Cmaj7
Never neverland, palm trees by the sea

      C
Well, there was no need for those guys to hurt him so bad

              Em7
When all they had to do was knock him down

           C
But no one asks too many questions like that anymore

Em7
Since you left this town

      G              D
And tomorrow brings another train

        Bm                  C
Another young brave steals away

     G                 D
But you're the one I remember

            Bm                           C
From these valleys of the green and the grey

    Em
You used to talk about winners and losers all the time

      G
As if that was all there was

   Am
As if we were not of the same blood family

   C                         Cmaj7
As if we live by different laws

       Em
Do you owe so much less to these rain swept hills

         G
Than you owe to your good self?

      Am
Is it true that the world has always got to be

                               C         Cmaj7
Something that seems to happen somewhere else?

    C
For God's sake don't you realise

     Em7
That I still hear that call?

                    C
Do you think you're so brave just go running

              Em7
To that which beckons to us all?

      G              D
And tomorrow brings another train

        Bm                  C
Another young brave steals away

     G                 D
But you're the one I remember

            Bm                           C
From these valleys of the green and the grey

                Em
No, not for one second did you look behind you

   G
As you were walking away

      Am
Never once did you wish any of us well

C
Those who had chosen to stay

       Em
And if that's what it takes to make it

       G
In the place where you live today

     G                                D
Then I guess you'll never read these letters that I've sent

         Bm                    C
From the valleys of green and the grey

 Bm             Am            Em
Valleys of the green and the grey
