[A]
Oh Lord won't you [Bm] tell me I'm [D] sure I don't belong
We've reached the [A] place that [E] changed all our [A] storm
Wrong place in the [Bm] country, so [D] please don't come
We moved up to [A] London and the problems spun around
[E] I sleep by the [D] river where the rain that was cheap
The land already [A] told us it's [E] yours to keep
[A] We're a regular [Bm] family, [D] week after week
You've always the room, [A] find a way she can sleep
The years would pass [D] by the walk I've done
We lived out our [A] lives, said nothing [E] short of [A] fun
When our land was contrived, [D] you need a crew
With a slice of a [A] gun on his head to bow [E] his knees
He'd kneel on it [D] someday and pray to the Lord
For a trio's of [A] low is [E] what we can't [A] afford
When the pastures [Bm] decayed, we'd rather [D] raise up the run
We swallowed our [A] pride and we smiled over [D] us
Drifting [G] more direction than a [A] stone
When you go [D] you're all [G] alone
They'll tell your [A] name where you [Bm] lie
And I have for [G] once no tears to cry
[D] [A] [G] [A] [D]
[A] Greenhouse, no [Bm] boundaries, green [D] is that field
I'm talking about [A] time for a [E] property deal
[A] The woman next [Bm] door, she just [D] passed away
But her rank grew so high [A] that she'd just been paid
[E] An ear in her bed, [D] she closed up her eyes
The last time to [A] gaze on this [E] world of [A] lies
With nowhere to go [Bm] and nothing [D] to say
She went to the neck, [A] rolled in the fattest [D] swine
Friction [G] more direction than a [A] stone
When you go [D] you're all [G] alone
They'll tell your [A] name where you [Bm] lie
And I have for once [G] no tears to cry
[D] [A] [G] [A] [D]
[A] Oh, won't you tell [Bm] me, I swear [D] I don't know
What makes some people [A] so callous [E] and dull
[A] I've lived in this house [Bm] for five [D] or years
Not sure where I've born, [A] here it's here I grew old
[E] I curse that you bastard [D] land I'll be damned
Who needs one more house [A] like a peach needs [E] one's hand
[A] Instead of them, don't I [Bm] need to [D] let go
There's never been one man should trade [A] on his soul
Oh Lord won't you [Bm] tell me I'm [D] sure I don't belong
We've reached the [A] place that [E] changed all our [A] storm
Wrong place in the [Bm] country, so [D] please don't come
