Verse 1:

  E      Bm           A             C#m
  And in to the sea  goes pretty Eng land and me
  C                 Bm                E
  Around the Bay of  Biscay and  back for tea
  E                       Bm
  Hitting traffic on the  dogger bank
  A                       C#m
  Up the Thames to find a  taxi rank
  C                    Bm         E
  Sail on by with the  tide and  fall asleep

Chorus:

and the radio says...
  E          D    E               Am
  This is a  low... but it won't  hurt you

  E             D     E              Am   Bm
  When you're a lon e...it will be  there when  you
  C                Bm      E
  Finding ways to  stay so lo

Verse 2:

  E                     Bm
  On the tyne, forth and  cromarty
  A                    C#m
  There's a low in the  high 40's
  C                       Bm
(and)  Saturday's locked a way on the pier
  E
Not  fast enough dear
  E       Bm           A                C#m
  On the  malin head,  blackpool looks  blue and red
  C                          Bm
And the  queen, she's gone ` round the bend
  E
Jumped of  Land's End
