[Verse 1]

     Em              Em7/B
The time I think most clearly
    Cmaj7          Am   Em11
The time I drift away
          Em            Em7/B
Is on the busride that meanders
        Cmaj7                  Am   Em11
Up these valleys of green and grey
     Em              Em7/B
I get to think about what might have been
    Cmaj7          Am   Em11
And what may yet come true
     Em              Em7/B
And I get to pass these rainy miles

Thinking of you


[Bridge]

    C             Cmaj7
And all the while, all the while
   Bm             Bsus2
I still hear that call
C                        Cmaj7
From the land of gold and poison
     Bm           Bsus2
That beckons to us all


[Verse 2]

     Em              Em7/B
Nothing changes here very much
  Cmaj7           Am   Em11
You used to say it never will
     Em                   Em7/B
The pubs are all full on friday nights
  Cmaj7           Am   Em11
And things get started still
     Em                   Em7/B
You spend hours last week with Billy-boy
  Cmaj7             Am   Em11
Bleeding, yeah queueing in casualty
     Em                       Em7/B
Stare at those posters we used to laugh at
  Cmaj7                        Am   Em11
In heaven neverland, palmtrees by the sea


[Bridge]

    C                         Cmaj7
There was no need for these guys to hurt him so bad
   Bm                         Bsus2
When all they had to do was knock him down
    C                        Cmaj7
But no one asks too many questions, not anymore
   Bm             Bsus2
Since you left this town


[Chorus]

       G                     D
And tomorrow brings another train
         Bm                 C
Another young brave steals away
     G                  D
But you’re the one I remember
            Bm                           C     Cmaj7
From these valleys of the green and the grey


[Verse 3]

     Em                               Em7/B
You used to talk about winners and losers all the time
  Cmaj7            Am   Em11
As if that was all there was
     Em                              Em7/B
As if we were not of the same blood family
  Cmaj7             Am   Em11
As if we live by different laws
     Em                            Em7/B
Do you owe so much less to these rain swept hills
  Cmaj7              Am   Em11
Than you owe to your good self
     Em                         Em7/B
Is it true that the world has always got to be
  Cmaj7                             Am   Em11
Something that seems to happen somewhere else


[Bridge]

    C                   Cmaj7
Oh, for god sake why don’t you realize
   Bm               Bsus2
That I still hear that call
    C                        Cmaj7
Do you think you’re so brave to just start running
   Bm                  Bsus2
To that which beckons to us all


[Chorus]

       G                     D
And tomorrow brings another train
         Bm                 C
Another young brave steals away
     G                  D
But you’re the one I remember
            Bm                           C     Cmaj7
From these valleys of the green and the grey


Em
single strum, x8

       G                     D
Oooh, not for one second did you look behind you
   Bm                 C
When you were walking away
       G                     D
Never once did you wish any of us well
      Bm                 C
Those who had chosen to stay
       G                     D
And if that’s what it takes to make it
         Bm                 C
In the place where you live today


[Outro]

        G                             D
Then I guess you’ll never read these letters that I’ve sent
          Bm                           C    Cmaj7
From the valleys of the green and the grey
Bm              Am            Em
Valleys of the green and the grey
