F# A#m G#m C#

[Chorus]

F#                                A#m
   This summer I'm gonna get us a motorbike
                 G#m
To ride us up to Ilfracombe
            C#          F#
And over to Ravenscliffe

[Verse 1]

C#
   And it won't be the fancy kind:
D#m
   Light, good for the easy wind.
B
   Hang with me in the corners
           G#m
Careful to hold on tight
C#
   And we would never highway ride
D#m
   We'd take the quiet roads beside
B
   And park along a cornfield
        G#m
When it suits us right
         C#
Suits us right

[Chorus]

F#                                A#m
   This summer I'm gonna get us a motorbike
                 G#m
To ride us up to Ilfracombe
            C#
And over to Ravenscliffe

F#                                    A#m
   And this summer I'm gonna get us a motorbike
                 G#m
To ride us up to Ilfracombe
            C#          F#
And over to Ravenscliffe

[Verse 2]

C#
   And my brother will be terrified
D#m
   He's had some friends that nearly died
B
   I said that I'd be careful
               G#m
And try not to ride at night
C#
   And he said, "That's what they always say
D#m
   "Then a transport truck gets in your way.
B
   "I want you holding flowers there
       G#m
"At my wedding day"
        C#
Wedding day

[Chorus]

F#                                A#m
   This summer I'm gonna get us a motorbike
                 G#m
To ride us up to Ilfracombe
            C#
And over to Ravenscliffe
F#                                A#m
   This summer I'm gonna get us a motorbike
                   G#m
Something cheap on gasoline
               C#
To get us into town and back

[Bridge]

C#                                F#
   And when the fascists lock the city down
C#                            F#
   And the riot police gather all around
B
   Will we laugh

Will we laugh
        G#m
Will we laugh
               C#
That once we romanticized
                               C#
And we practically [expletive] fantasized
                        C#
About the downfall of a city
                        C#
About the downfall of a country
                        C#
About the downfall of a lifetime

[Chorus]

F#                                A#m
   This summer I'm gonna get us a motorbike
                    G#m
Something with some saddlebags
                   C#
That we can pack a picnic in
F#                                A#m
   This summer I'm gonna get us a motorbike
                   G#m
Something cheap on gasoline
               C#
To get us into town and back
