VERSE:
G C
Let me tell you all a little story of the things I've found,
G C
Hanging out and drinking with my friends in the cathedral grounds,
G C
And later dodging drunks as we dance along Jury Street,
G C
As we wander up town to the railway our friends to meet,
D
There's something about coming back to your hometown again,
G
The place where you grew up and where you found your firmest friends,
D
And though none of them still live here, I've got nowhere to go,
C
I'm a Wessex Boy and when I'm here I'm home

Verse:
G C
Let me tell you all a little story of the things I've lost,
G C
Huddling for warmth on the top step of the Buttercross,
G C
Sitting on the benches by the bridges at the riverside,
G C
Counting down the hours for the buses cause I missed my ride

BRIDGE:
B C G D
And one day I will hear this song anonymous and sweet,
B C G D
Ringing out from a buskers guitar on the ancient city streets,
B C G D
I'll pause a while and smile before I continue on alone,
E C
And somebody else will sing the words and I'll feel like I'm home
RIFF (8x)
D
There's something about hometowns you never can escape
G
The triumphs and the tragedies, the tawdry little fates,
D
The welling of nostalgia and feeling kind of strange,
C
Cause despite the little changes yeah this place still feels the same
D
There's something about coming back to your hometown again,
G
The place where you grew up and where you found your firmest friends,

I'm a Wessex boy and when I'm here I'm home
