White chalk hills are all I've known

  Am         C                 G         Dm
White chalk hills will rot my bones

White chalk sticking to my shoes

White chalk stands against time

  Am        C                G       Dm
White chalk cutting down the sea at night

 Am     C               G        Dm
I walk the valleys by the surf

     Am        C               G       Dm
On a path cut fifteen hundred years ago

      F                G
And I know these chalk hills will rot my

Am          C           G           Dm

Where I walked our unborn child in me

  Am          C             G         Dm
White chalk, poor scattered land

Am          C
Scratch my palms

        G             Dm
There's blood on my hands
