[Verse 1]
Em Em7/B
The time I think most clearly
Cmaj7 Am Em* Em11
The time I drift away
Em Em7/B
Is on the busride that meanders
Cmaj7 Am Em* Em11
Up these valleys of green and grey
Em Em7/B
I get to think about what might have been
Cmaj7 Am Em* Em11
And what may yet come true
Em Em7/B
And I get to pass these rainy miles
Thinking of you
[Bridge]
C Cmaj7
And all the while, all the while
Bm Bsus2
I still hear that call
C Cmaj7
From the land of gold and poison
Bm Bsus2
That beckons to us all
[Verse 2]
Em Em7/B
Nothing changes here very much
Cmaj7 Am Em* Em11
You used to say it never will
Em Em7/B
The pubs are all full on friday nights
Cmaj7 Am Em* Em11
And things get started still
Em Em7/B
You spend hours last week with Billy-boy
Cmaj7 Am Em* Em11
Bleeding, yeah queueing in casualty
Em Em7/B
Stare at those posters we used to laugh at
Cmaj7 Am Em* Em11
In heaven neverland, palmtrees by the sea
[Bridge]
C Cmaj7
There was no need for these guys to hurt him so bad
Bm Bsus2
When all they had to do was knock him down
C Cmaj7
But no one asks too many questions, not anymore
Bm Bsus2
Since you left this town
[Chorus]
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 Cmaj7
From these valleys of the green and the grey
[Verse 3]
Em Em7/B
You used to talk about winners and losers all the time
Cmaj7 Am Em* Em11
As if that was all there was
Em Em7/B
As if we were not of the same blood family
Cmaj7 Am Em* Em11
As if we live by different laws
Em Em7/B
Do you owe so much less to these rain swept hills
Cmaj7 Am Em* Em11
Than you owe to your good self
Em Em7/B
Is it true that the world has always got to be
Cmaj7 Am Em* Em11
Something that seems to happen somewhere else
[Bridge]
C Cmaj7
Oh, for god sake why don’t you realize
Bm Bsus2
That I still hear that call
C Cmaj7
Do you think you’re so brave to just start running
Bm Bsus2
To that which beckons to us all
[Chorus]
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 Cmaj7
From these valleys of the green and the grey
Em
single strum, x8
G D
Oooh, not for one second did you look behind you
Bm C
When you were walking away
G D
Never once did you wish any of us well
Bm C
Those who had chosen to stay
G D
And if that’s what it takes to make it
Bm C
In the place where you live today
[Outro]
G D
Then I guess you’ll never read these letters that I’ve sent
Bm C Cmaj7
From the valleys of the green and the grey
Bm Am Em
Valleys of the green and the grey
