Chord Flanders And Swann Bedstead Men Versi 1

Capo Fret 1

G D
When you're walking in the country,
G D
Far from villages or towns,
Am D G
When you're seven miles from nowhere and beyond

G D
In some dark, deserted forest
G D
Or a hollow of the downs,
Am D G
You may come across a lonely pool or pond

E Am
And you'll always find a big, brass,
D
Broken bedstead by the bank
Bm E
There's one in every loch, or mere, or fen

Bm G
Don't think it's there by accident,
E F#
It's us you have to thank,
E F# Bm
The society of British bedstead men

G D
Oh, the hammer-ponds of Sussex
G D
And the mill-ponds of the west
G D Am D G
Are part of Britain's heritage, the part we love the best

G D
Every eel and fish and mill-pond
G D
Has a beauty all can share
G D Am D G
But not unless it's got a big, brass, broken bedstead there

F# Bm
So we filch them out of attics
F# Bm
We beg them from our friends
G D F#
We buy them up in auction lots with other odds and ends

Bm G
Then we drag them, 'cross the meadows,
D E
When the moon is in the sky,
Bm E F# Bm
So watch the wall, my darling, while the bedstead men go by
