Green and Grey Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Em][C][Em][C]

[Verse 1]
[Em]The time I think most [D]clearly,
[Em]the [D]time[C] I drift away
Is on [Em]the bus-ride that that me[D]anders
up these [C]valleys of green and grey
I [Em]get to think about what [D]might have been
and [C]what may yet come true
And I [Em]get to pass a rainy
[D]mile [C]thinking of you
And all the while, all the while,
[G]I still [Bm]hear that [G]call
[Bm]To t[C]he land of gold and poison
that beck[G]ons [Bm]to us[G] a[Bm]ll
[Em]Nothing changes here[G] very much,
[D]I guess you'd [C]say it never will

[Verse 2]
The [Em]pubs are all full on Fri[D]day
nights and things [C]get started still
[D]We spent hou[Em]rs last week with Billy boy,
[D]bleeding, yea[C]h queuing in Casualty
Star[Em]ing at those posters
we used [D]to laugh at,
Never Never Land,
[C]palm trees by the sea
Well there was no need for those
guys to [Bm]hurt him so bad
When all they had to do
was knock him down
But no one [C]asks to many questions [Bm]like that
since [F#m]you left this to[Bm]wn[F#m][Bm]

[Verse 3]
And to[G]morrow brings another [D]train
Another young [Bm]brave steals [C]away
[D]But you[G]'re the one I remember[D]
From these [Bm]valleys of green and [C]the grey

[Verse 4]
[Em]You used to talk about winners and losers all the time,
[D]as if [C]that was all there was
As [Em]if we were not of the same blood family,
[D]as if [C]we live by different laws
[D]Do you owe[Em] so much less to these rain swep[D]t
[Bm]hills than you [C]owe to your good [Em]self?[C]
Is it true [Em]that the world has
always got to be something
That seem[D]s to [C]happen
somewhere else?
For God's sake don't you [Bm]real
[Em]ize [Bm]that I still hear that call
Do you think you're [C]so brave just to go [Bm]running [Em]to that whic[Bm]h
beckons to [F#sus4]us all?[Bm][G][D][F#m][Bm][C][G][D]
[F#m]

[Interlude 1]
[Bm][C][Em]

[Verse 5]
[Em]No, not for one [G]second
did you look [D]behind [F#m]you[D]
As [Bm]you were walking [C]away
Never [D]once did you [G]wish any [D]of us well
[Bm]Those who had chosen to [C]stay
And if that's [G]what it takes to make [D]it
In [Bm]the place that you live [C]today
Then [D]I guess [G]you'll never read
these let[D]ters that I send
From the [Bm]valleys of the green
and [C]the grey

[Outro 1]
[C][A][Bm][Em]
