Gods Own Country

D A I was born on holy land Bm Amongst the dales and Scarborough sands  A G Where the green grass grows, underneath the white rose D A And I was raised here in the North Bm Just south of the Yorkshire moors A G A little town out by the coast Bm A G D And when I'm feeling down, I take a drive out to the east Bm A G D Something picks me up when I just stare out at the sea D A Bm G And when I hit the road, I miss the scenery G A Right here, in God's Own Country D A We don't need a London town Bm We've got our own Beautiful South  A G And if you wanna know the score, It's London nil, Hull four D A Glasto ain't no Staxtonbury Bm And Reading ain't a patch on Leeds A G Cos crowds sing louder in The North Bm A G D      We made The Human League, Pulp, and Kaiser Chiefs,  Bm A G D I bet Arctic Monkeys have stood here before me D A Bm G I could move to Nashville, but I'm in good company G A Right here, in God's Own Country Bm A G D We set trends right here, and it makes me proud Bm A G D If Wilberforce was still around, he should take a bow D A Bm G And strange as it might seem, strangers say 'hi' in the streets G A Right here, in God's Own Country   (1 <2beat>RIFF) Bm A G D What would I drink, once the working day is through? Bm A G D It's the only place on earth that I can get a proper brew D A Bm G Oh I could move to China, but I prefer the tea  G A Right here, in God's Own Country   D A When he says my time is up Bm When I finally bite the dust A G I've just got one last request D A It won't cost an awful lot Bm Just burn my body in a box A G And gather up whatever's left Bm A G D Take me Flamborough where the white cliffs meet the sea Bm A G D Throw me in the air and let me scatter in the breeze D A Bm G Say your last goodbyes, then let me rest in peace G A Right here, in God's Own Country
