England

   A
We got off the plane in the cold, 
cold rain
     E
Lost track of the hour, lost track 
of the day
        D                     Bm  
We were very far away from 
            E
anywhere we'd been before

   A
We got on a bus and we went to the 
city
    E
Got off at a stop because we liked 
the name
        D
We were in for an adventure
           Bm              E
And that's all we knew for sure
       D               F#m        
And we walked until we couldn't 
      E
walk no more
Bm                    E (single 
strum)
Jet lag and sore feet led us to the 
door
      A
Of an expensive noisy bed
               E
Where we could rest our heavy heads
   D
We slept away the rest of the day
    Bm            E
And well into the night
       A              F#m        
And we woke up with a hunger for 
Bm
life
                E
Well before the sun rised

   A
We didn't have money to ride the 
underground
      E
So we walked the miles and miles of 
this town
     D
When night fell like a rock we 
realized
Bm                         E     
We were never gonna find a patch 
        A
of open ground

                        E
And the rain was comin' down
                             D
And the trains were shuttin' down
                          Bm
We were worn out, wet and lost
             E             A
There was no shelter to be found


A   E   Bm   E   A   E   A   F#m 
(single strum)

D   E

   A
We spent over a week of our budget
     E
On a taxi and a bed
    D
And we made plans at night to escape
     Bm        E
This expensive wonderland

         A
We would set out for the wild
         E
We would see what was beyond
         D
We would sleep above the soil
             Bm            E
And we would travel by our thumbs

    D                E
And written above my hostel bed
   A               F#m
In black marker it said
           D
"There's a light
       E          A
And it never goes out"


   A
We didn't have a clue what we were 
doin'
   E
We didn't even know where we wanted 
to go
         D
The next day we took the tube all 
the way
    Bm                E
Out to the end of the line

   A
It took us five hours to find a 
place to stand
   E
We stuck out our thumbs, we raised 
our hands
       D
It was rainin' hard again
    Bm             E
But we were not surprised

D               F#m
No one wants to pick you up
E
When you're soakin' wet
       Bm              D
It was hard not havin' second 
thoughts
      E (single strum)
About goin' on this trip

       D                   A
And we ate the rest of our hostel 
bread
        D          A
Under a dark, damp underpass
   D                   A
We watched the cars go past
    D               A
The sun was sinking fast
    D                 A
But salvation came at last
     D                A
In a little blue hatchback
    E                D            
And he took us a few miles down 
  A
the road

    A
The day was almost over
       E
It was hard not to give in
       D
We had made it outta the city
        Bm                         
We were thinkin' about givin' up 
          E
and settin' up our tent
      A
But a Jeep pulled over then
       E
And he told us to get in
   D
He said his name was Nick
              Bm               E 
(single strum)
Right away he felt just like a 
friend

       D               E
And he took us to some land
           A              D
Where some people live on buses
  D           E
Invited us to stay the night
    A
And we could not refuse
   D                E
We got a bus of our own
       A
And it had a soft, warm bed
   D              E
We built a little fire
       A
And we dried our soaking shoes
       Bm             E
And we slept, yeah we slept
                 A
Just like little babies

    A
The next day at Stonehenge
              E
We couldn't afford to get in
   D
We thought it would be free,
           Bm                E
We were surprised to see the fence
     A
This day would set the theme
        E
Of this trip for you and me
         D
We could pay to see the sights of 
Europe
   Bm                 E
Or we could choose to eat

       D                    F#m
And we pressed on to an old Roman 
city
       E
And we made it before night
Bm                D
We broke down and bought some fries
     E (single strum)
Just so we could get dry

    D         A   D          A   
And curse the sky, curse the sky,
D          A
 curse the sky
   E             A
It rains all the time

   A
We found a spot to pitch our tent
E
It was our first night in it
    D
The rain soaked in, the ground was 
cold
   Bm           E
It sank into my bones
       A           F#m             
And we decided that it was way too 
Bm
cold
                      E
To keep goin' the way we had planned
 to go
    A                         E
And that night we agreed that we 
would turn around
     D                           
We'd head for warmer ground, we'd 
       Bm             E
start makin' our way south

       D         E              A
Oh you can't get lost if you've 
               D
got no place to go
    D                  E     
You can't take a wrong turn if 
         A               D
you're not on your way home
       Bm                D       
And we realized just how free we 
E      A
really were
