VIDEO: HUCK presents... Frank Turner - Sweet Albion Blues INTRO: E VERSE: E -(MUTED/MUFFLED) I came down from Newcastle town E To the part of the south coast that I love the most. E -(MUTED/MUFFLED) I was stretched out tight after a couple of nights E Going crazy in Glasgow, I think you all know how that goes. CHORUS: A I needed some peace, somewhere to stand still, Through the Cotswold hills down to Portland Bill, E And to charge up my batteries for next weekend, Where I'd be cruising through Cardiff and ending up in Southend. B So don't go stopping and putting down roots A-(MUTED/MUFFLED) E Or your shoes won't fit in your travelling boots. VERSE: E -(MUTED/MUFFLED) I met a guy from Cornwall who'd never left the county E I told him about the big smoke, I don't think he believed me. E -(MUTED/MUFFLED) I told him about the scene along the south coast to Kent, E Across the estuary to East Anglia, and then I think he knew what I meant. CHORUS: A A man is bored of life if he's bored of these islands, All creation is here from Hythe to the Highlands. E The Black Country witnessed my basest predations And the road up to Hull is paved with wicked intentions. B So don't go stopping and putting down roots A-(MUTED/MUFFLED) E Or your shoes won't fit in your travelling boots.

BREAK: (PLAY RIFF ABOVE OVER THESE WORDS) All across the hills and valleys, From the A roads to the seas, The suburbs lead up to the cities, And that's where you'll find me. VERSE: A Go mad in Manchester, wind down in Winchester, Roaming the home counties, where the parties are free, E Circling London like dirt round a storm drain and Somewhere near Holborn's the heart of the beast. B Don't go stopping and putting down roots A-(MUTED/MUFFLED) E Or your shoes won't fit in your travelling boots. OUTRO: E A B E Sweet Albion around me, everywhere I go, E A B E Sweet Albion surround me, you're everything I know. E A B E Sweet Albion around me, everywhere I go, E A B E Sweet Albion surround me, you're everything I know.
