After The Rush Hour Acoustic Chords
Intro
C, Am, G, Em (x2)
Verse 1
C Am
I am the small town linesman
G Em
And you'll find me out here on the line.
C G
Searching ceaselessly to simply
Am G C
Find a place i can call mine.
Am G
Every corner of this country
Em C
Criss-crossed out with coloured lines.
G/C
The city lies before me,
G Am G C
Another city sprawling out behind.
Chorus
Em C
Cos I’m a frontiers man,
Em
Trapped in suburban England.
Verse 2
C Am
Since the Scramble ended,
G Em
Since the West was won on wagon trails,
C G
It seems the Mazzini's paradisical
Am G C
Panopticon prevailed.
Am G
My walkabouts no longer take me
Em C
Beyond a choice of different jails.
G/C
Why should i have to choose a state
G Am G C
When every one of them has failed?
Chorus
Em C
Cos I’m a frontiers man,
Em
Trapped in suburban England.

Build Up to Bridge
Dm C
And i promise not to overthrow the state
D(slide up C shape)
If allowed to redraw the atlas before
Dm C
I emigrate.
Bridge
So I have sailed the seven seas alone,
Trying to find a shore I can call home.
But all i found are different flags,
Double-speaking diplomats, and
I do not have time for that.
So I'll declare my own sovereign state, - I cant figure out the bridge =[
The borders based on the
Bottoms of my boots,
And i will open embasies
Wherever the hell i please,
And at assemblies
You will see me sat
But never on my knees.
Chorus
Em C
Cos I’m a frontiers man,
Em
Trapped in suburban England.
Build Up to Bridge
Dm C
And i promise not to overthrow the state
D(slide up C shape)
If allowed to redraw the atlas before
Dm C
I emigrate.
Dm C
And I'd gladly leave your Metternich's alone
D(slide up C shape)
As long as where
Dm C
I lay my head i can be my very own.
(Repeat Intro)
I am the Winchester lineman.
Chorus
Em C
Cos I’m a frontiers man,
Em
Trapped in suburban England.
Coda
C Em
But here I will not remain-
C
No I'll ride into the sunset,
Em Dm
Where my horse waits on the plain,
C slide to D
And I keep walking the li --------- ine.
