[Intro]
G* G*
G* G*
[Verse 1]
G* G* C D G*
From the heart of the Southern Downs, to the North-East London reservoirs,
G* G* C D G*
From the start, the land scaped my sound, before I'd ever been to America.
[Chorus]
C D G D/F# C
And if I knew anybody who played pedal steel guitar,
C D G D/F# C
I'd get them in my band and then my band would get real far,
C B7 Em D C
But I was raised in middle England, and not in Nashville Tennessee,
C D
And the only person in my band is me.
G* G*
[Verse 2]
G* G* C D G*
A simple scale on an old guitar, and a punk rock sense of honesty.
G* G* C D G*
I cannot fail, I've got this far with no knowledge of mid-west geography.
[Chorus]
C D G D/F# C
And if I knew anywhere where I could drive in a straight line
C D G D/F# C
For hours through the desert, I'd drive for hours at a time.
C B7 Em D C
But I was raised in middle England, not in Nashville Tennessee,
C D
And the only person in this car is me.
G*
[Bridge]
Am C G D Am
And yes I'm in four-four time, and yes I use cheap cheap rhymes,
C G*
But I try to make a sound my own.
Am C G D Am
I know I don't break new ground, many have travelled this sound,
C
But I try to make it sound like home.
[Solo]
G* G* C D G*
[Verse 3]
G G
Well I've been to Texas state, I didn't think it was that fucking great,
C D
And Nebraska is just a bunch of songs,
Em A7
Holloway and Hampshire where I belong.
[Chorus]
C D G D/F# C
And I don't know anybody who plays pedal steel guitar,
C D G D/F# C
All the city roads are twisted and I do not own a car.
C B7 Em D C
I was raised in middle England, not in Nashville Tennessee,
C D
And the only thing I'm offering is me.
[Outro]
