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.

The city lies before me,
G	        Am	G     C
Another city sprawling out behind.

Trapped in suburban England.

Panopticon prevailed.

My walkabouts no longer take me

When every one of them has failed?

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.
