Tom: Am
C
Yeah I'm up at Ridgeway
Now I'm down the Moorings, right next to the Debenhams
And I'll be Port forever
G * F
Yes it is my lifeblood
These streets they are a part of me
The yin to my yang
The Craig to my Bellamy
G * C
Catch me in the kitchen
I've got cheese I'm melting it
Caerphilly, bread and ham
Hey presto it's a Rarebit
G * F
Head out to Caerleon
Off-white transit
Febreeze on the dash for the stain where my nan sits
G * C
Out for the big one, sniffin' on the miaow miaow
DJ on the ones and twos, spinnin' Little Bow Wow
G * F
On the dancefloor raving, pack of 16 Benson
Someone fighting bouncers...turns out it's Gavin Henson
G * C
Big up to Plaid Cymru, and the Welsh Assembly
Big up to Millennium: we don't need no Wembley
G * F
Keep your Big Apple...
We'll have a tangerine
Bugger of Alicia, Shirley Bassey is our queen
G * Am
Round here we stick together
G
Like birds of a feather...
E
Except we're not from Chigwell...
We're from the small Welsh town of...
CHORUS
F
Newport
G Am
Concrete jumble, nothing in order
C
Not far from the border....
F
When you're in Newport
G Am
Chips and curry makes you feel brand new
C
Washed down with a Special Brew
F
Repeat the word Newport, Newport, Newport
2ND VERSE
C
Catch me at Gwent Dragons in my fleece watching real sport
Shit, I make the Dragons' fleece more famous than the Argonauts
G* F
And now that I've made it here I can make it anywhere
Signed a girl's baubles when I headlined at the local fair
G * C
Yeah know the D to the V to the A
Dad said "Get a job with them ," but Swansea's too far away
G * F
So look me up on Google -- I'm seven pages in
Was in the local paper, Mam threw it in the bin
G * C
She didn't see the article calling me a rap star
Ripped it into pieces, and used it for the hamster
G * F
Tom Jones, Steve Jones, Zeta Jones, traffic cones
If you come and visit use the Designated Parking Zones
G * C
There's a snooker hall, see but I'm not a member...
And a lovely shopping centre opened in December
G * Am
So head over the water
G
On the transporter
E
Fifty for the toll booth
Male Voice Choir singing out...
CHORUS
F
Newport
G Am
Twinned with Guangxi, Province in China
C
There's no province finer
F
Josie D'Arby's from Newport
G Am
Yes, it's strange, we didn't know either...
C
Thank you Wikipedia
F
Let's say some more Newport, Newport, Newport
