[Verse 1]

     Em              Em7/B
The time I think most clearly
    Cmaj7          Am   Em11
The time I drift away
          Em            Em7/B
Is on the busride that meanders
        Cmaj7                  Am 
Up these valleys of green and grey
  Em11

     Em              Em7/B
I get to think about what might have
 been
    Cmaj7          Am   Em11
And what may yet come true
     Em              Em7/B
And I get to pass these rainy miles

Thinking of you


[Bridge]

    C             Cmaj7
And all the while, all the while
   Bm             Bsus2
I still hear that call
C                        Cmaj7
From the land of gold and poison
     Bm           Bsus2
That beckons to us all


[Verse 2]

     Em              Em7/B
Nothing changes here very much
  Cmaj7           Am   Em11
You used to say it never will
     Em                   Em7/B
The pubs are all full on friday 
nights
  Cmaj7           Am   Em11
And things get started still
Continues after the ad
Remove ads
     Em                   Em7/B
You spend hours last week with 
Billy-boy
  Cmaj7             Am   Em11
Bleeding, yeah queueing in casualty
     Em                       
Stare at those posters we used to 
Em7/B
laugh at
  Cmaj7                        Am 
In heaven neverland, palmtrees by 
  Em11
the sea


[Bridge]

    C                         
There was no need for these guys to 
Cmaj7
hurt him so bad
   Bm                         
When all they had to do was knock 
Bsus2
him down
    C                        Cmaj7
But no one asks too many questions, 
not anymore
   Bm             Bsus2
Since you left this town


[Chorus]

       G                     D
And tomorrow brings another train
         Bm                 C
Another young brave steals away
     G                  D
But you’re the one I remember
            Bm                     
From these valleys of the green and
      C     Cmaj7
 the grey


[Verse 3]

     Em                            
You used to talk about winners and 
   Em7/B
losers all the time
  Cmaj7            Am   Em11
As if that was all there was
     Em                            
As if we were not of the same blood
  Em7/B
 family
  Cmaj7             Am   Em11
As if we live by different laws
     Em                         
Do you owe so much less to these 
   Em7/B
rain swept hills
  Cmaj7              Am   Em11
Than you owe to your good self
     Em                         
Is it true that the world has 
Em7/B
always got to be
  Cmaj7                       
Something that seems to happen 
      Am   Em11
somewhere else


[Bridge]

    C                   Cmaj7
Oh, for god sake why don’t you 
realize
   Bm               Bsus2
That I still hear that call
    C                        Cmaj7
Do you think you’re so brave to just
 start running
   Bm                  Bsus2
To that which beckons to us all


[Chorus]

       G                     D
And tomorrow brings another train
         Bm                 C
Another young brave steals away
     G                  D
But you’re the one I remember
            Bm                     
From these valleys of the green and
      C     Cmaj7
 the grey


Em
single strum, x8

       G                     D
Oooh, not for one second did you 
look behind you
   Bm                 C
When you were walking away
       G                     D
Never once did you wish any of us 
well
      Bm                 C
Those who had chosen to stay
       G                     D
And if that’s what it takes to make 
it
         Bm                 C
In the place where you live today


[Other]

        G                          
Then I guess you’ll never read 
   D
these letters that I’ve sent
          Bm                     
From the valleys of the green and 
      C    Cmaj7
the grey
Bm              Am            Em
Valleys of the green and the grey
