Englands Motorway

G        D      Am       C      
Come my, little son, and I will 
G        C       G
tell you what to do;
  G         G Am  Em  C    G  
Undress yourself, get into 
                          C
bed, and a tale I'll tell to you.
    G     G Am Em   C     G   
It'•s all about your daddy 
                G Am Em C
son, He's a man you seldome see,
         G      D         Am      
For he'•s had to roam far away from 
 C
home,
     G        C       G
Far away from you and me.


[Chorus]
      G      G Am Em   C        
But remember lad, he's still your 
  G
dad
                    G  Am Em C
Though he'•s workin'• fa--r a--way
       G        D           Am   
In the cold and heat, forty hours
   C
 a week
   G         C    G
On England'•s motorway.

[Verse 2]
G         D       Am       C   
Sure we'd like to have him 
      G       C        G
here; for sure it would be fine
   G        G Am Em   C       
To have him li---ving here at 
G                            C
home and be with you all the time;
    G       G Am  Em C         
But beggars can'•t be choosers,
G                 G Am Em  C
 and we'll have to bear the load,
       G        D          Am    
For we need the money your daddy 
C
earns
  G       C      G
A-workin' on the road.


[Chorus]
      G      G Am Em   C        
But remember lad, he's still your 
  G
dad
                    G  Am Em C
Though he'•s workin'• fa--r a--way
       G        D           Am   
In the cold and heat, forty hours
   C
 a week
   G         C    G
On England'•s motorway.


[Verse 3]
G        D        Am      C     
When you fall and cut yourself 
   G     C       G
and get a-feelin' bad
      G    G Am Em C      G   
There isn'•t a---ny use to go 
                 C
a-runnin'• to your dad,
        G    G Am Em    C       
For the only time since you were
 G                     G Am  Em  
 born that he's had to spend with 
 C
you,
       G          D    Am         
He was out on the line makin'• his 
C
time;
       G       C    G
He was workin'• on a crew.


[Chorus]
      G      G Am Em   C        
But remember lad, he's still your 
  G
dad
                    G  Am Em C
Though he'•s workin'• fa--r a--way
       G        D           Am   
In the cold and heat, forty hours
   C
