England Ghost Mice
We got off the plan[A]e in the cold, cold rain
Lost [E]track of the hour, lost track of the day
We were [D]very far away from any[Bm]where we'd been [E]before
We [A]got on a bus and we went to the city
Got [E]off at a stop because we liked the name
We were [D]in for an adventure
And that's [Bm]all we knew for [E]sure
And we [D]walked until we [F#m]couldn't walk no [E]more
Bm E (single strum)
Jet lag and sore feet led us to the door
Of an [A]expensive noisy bed
Where we could [E]rest our heavy heads
We [D]slept away the rest of the day
And [Bm]well into the [E]night
And we [A]woke up with a [F#m]hunger for [Bm]life
Well before the [E]sun rised
We [A]didn't have money to ride the underground
So we [E]walked the miles and miles of this town
When [D]night fell like a rock we realized
[Bm]We were never gonna find a [E]patch of open [A]ground
And the rain was comin' [E]down
And the trains were shuttin' [D]down
We were worn out, wet and [Bm]lost
There was no [E]shelter to be [A]found
A E Bm E A E A F#m (single strum)
[D] [E]
We [A]spent over a week of our budget
On a [E]taxi and a bed
And [D]we made plans at night to escape
This [Bm]expensive [E]wonderland
We would [A]set out for the wild
We would [E]see what was beyond
We would [D]sleep above the soil
And we would [Bm]travel by our [E]thumbs
And [D]written above my [E]hostel bed
In [A]black marker it [F#m]said
"There's a [D]light
And it [E]never goes [A]out"
We [A]didn't have a clue what we were doin'
We [E]didn't even know where we wanted to go
The next [D]day we took the tube all the way
Out [Bm]to the end of the [E]line
It [A]took us five hours to find a place to stand
We [E]stuck out our thumbs, we raised our hands
It was [D]rainin' hard again
But [Bm]we were not sur[E]prised
[D]No one wants to [F#m]pick you up
[E]When you're soakin' wet
It was [Bm]hard not havin' [D]second thoughts
E (single strum)
About goin' on this trip
And we [D]ate the rest of our [A]hostel bread
Under a [D]dark, damp [A]underpass
We [D]watched the cars go [A]past
The [D]sun was sinking [A]fast
But [D]salvation came at [A]last
In a [D]little blue hatch[A]back
And [E]he took us a few [D]miles down the [A]road
The [A]day was almost over
It was [E]hard not to give in
We had [D]made it outta the city
We were [Bm]thinkin' about givin' up and settin' [E]up our tent
But a [A]Jeep pulled over then
And he [E]told us to get in
He [D]said his name was Nick
Bm E (single strum)
Right away he felt just like a friend
And he [D]took us to some [E]land
Where some [A]people live on [D]buses
In[D]vited us to [E]stay the night
And [A]we could not refuse
We [D]got a bus of our [E]own
And it [A]had a soft, warm bed
We [D]built a little [E]fire
And we [A]dried our soaking shoes
And we [Bm]slept, yeah we [E]slept
Just like little [A]babies
The [A]next day at Stonehenge
We couldn't af[E]ford to get in
We [D]thought it would be free,
We were sur[Bm]prised to see the [E]fence
This [A]day would set the theme
Of this [E]trip for you and me
We could [D]pay to see the sights of Europe
Or [Bm]we could choose to [E]eat
And we [D]pressed on to an old [F#m]Roman city
And we [E]made it before night
[Bm]We broke down and [D]bought some fries
E (single strum)
Just so we could get dry
And [D]curse the [A]sky,[D] curse the [A]sky,[D] curse the [A]sky
It [E]rains all the [A]time
We [A]found a spot to pitch our tent
[E]It was our first night in it
The [D]rain soaked in, the ground was cold
It [Bm]sank into my [E]bones
And we [A]decided that[F#m] it was way too [Bm]cold
To keep goin' the way [E]we had planned to go
And [A]that night we agreed that [E]we would turn around
We'd [D]head for warmer ground, we'd start [Bm]makin' our way [E]south
Oh you [D]can't get [E]lost if you've [A]got no place to [D]go
You [D]can't take a wrong [E]turn if you're [A]not on your way [D]home
And we [Bm]realized just how [D]free we [E]really [A]were
