[Intro]
G

[Verse]
        G                   Em7
There's something about it, it gets 
stuck in my head
    D                   Cadd9
The cryptically writing the words 
are calmly said
    G                     Em7
And maybe it's stupid but I think 
it's fun
   D                   Cadd9
To act like I've grown up in old 
town London


[Pre-Chorus]
        G                         
And I'm not trying to make a stab 
Em7
it's just a harmless joke

        D                          
And I'm just trying to take a 
  Cadd9
chance to see how far it goes


[Chorus]
        G
So I've grown up in summer days
      Cadd9                        
But I just thought I'd see the way 
D                  Cadd9
it sounds from London town
         G                       
And I've lived like a country kid 
         Cadd9                  
but I'd just thought I'd try out 
             D
something else
Cadd9      D                 G
     But it kinda turned out welsh


[Verse]
  G                        Em7
I wish I was Ed Sheeran or in the 
Rolling Stones
         D                         
I'd have tea with Mr. Zeppelin and 
Cadd9
try right rock and roll
    G                            
And they've got Harry Potter and 
Em7
Dumbledore and Snape
       D                           
And we try to claim the Hobbit when
    Cadd9
 the cast is all UK


[Pre-Chorus]
        G                         
And I'm not trying to make a fuss 
Em7
I guess I'm just intrigued
    D                              
And singing in this accent gets me 
Cadd9
closer to the queen


[Chorus]
        G
So I've grown up in forest scenes
      Cadd9                        
But I just thought I'd see the way 
   D                  Cadd9
it sounds from London town
         G                         
And I've lived like a surfer kid 
    Cadd9                    
but I got bored and tried out 
          D
something else
Cadd9       D                  G
     But it kinda turned out welsh

Cadd9     D     G

Cadd9             D          
     I think I'll just stick to 
    G
myself
