[Intro]
G*   G*
G*   G*


[Verse 1]
         G*                    G*             C          D     G*
From the heart of the Southern Downs, to the North-East London reservoirs,
         G*                         G*                C    D       G*
From the start, the land scaped my sound, before I'd ever been to America.


[Chorus]
       C         D               G     D/F#     C
And if I knew anybody who played pedal steel guitar,
    C              D                G          D/F#     C
I'd get them in my band and then my band would get real far,
          C                B7                  Em        D     C
But I was raised in middle England, and not in Nashville Tennessee,
        C           D
And the only person in my band is me.

G*   G*


[Verse 2]
         G*                 G*         C         D        G*
A simple scale on an old guitar, and a punk rock sense of honesty.
         G*                  G*          C            D          G*
I cannot fail, I've got this far with no knowledge of mid-west geography.


[Chorus]
       C          D                  G        D/F#       C
And if I knew anywhere where I could drive in a straight line
    C                 D                     G     D/F# C
For hours through the desert, I'd drive for hours at a time.
          C                B7              Em        D     C
But I was raised in middle England, not in Nashville Tennessee,
        C           D
And the only person in this car is me.

G*


[Bridge]
Am                C         G                   D           Am
   And yes I'm in four-four time, and yes I use cheap cheap rhymes,
                    C        G*
But I try to make a sound my own.
Am                 C        G                 D              Am
   I know I don't break new ground, many have travelled this sound,
                     C
But I try to make it sound like home.


[Solo]
G*    G*   C   D  G*


[Verse 3]
          G                             G
Well I've been to Texas state, I didn't think it was that fucking great,
      C                         D
And Nebraska is just a bunch of songs,
             Em                A7
Holloway and Hampshire where I belong.


[Chorus]
      C             D              G     D/F#     C
And I don't know anybody who plays pedal steel guitar,
        C              D             G      D/F#  C
All the city roads are twisted and I do not own a car.
      C                B7              Em        D     C
I was raised in middle England, not in Nashville Tennessee,
        C              D
And the only thing I'm offering is me.


[Outro]
G*   G*
