Lord Herefords Knob

E B E as i camped out one evening to take the midnight air A B i heard a maiden grieving from somewhere over there A E A E who is it you are mourning; for whom do you wear grey? A E F# B7 she said i pine for no one - i just can’t pay my way . A E B E ever since the chattering classes invaded hebden Bridge A E F# B and priced the likes of me and mine to the pots of the pennine ridge A E A E to south east wales i was forced to flee and now i have no job A B7 E that’s why tonight i’m sitting on top of lord hereford’s knob . B E for you i’d waive expenses to try and help you out A B for your beauty influences the landscape hereabouts A E A E look up my betrothed at three cocks; be sure she’ll see you right A E F# B7 while i go up to yorkshire and there avenge your plight . A E B E soon reports were filtering through to me the pair were drowning in bliss A E F# B i can’t recall having ever been cuckolded quite like this A E A i gave up hope ironically for lent , E A B7 E come see me living in a bivvie if you’re ever up pen - y - ghent . B E although upon reflection i’ve been a trifle green A B i still think with affection on everything that’s been A E A E so prepare that fatted calf and string up the bunting gay A E F# B7 your brisk and bonny ploughboy is coming home today . E B E B7 and tonight he’ll be sitting on top of lord hereford’s knob . E B E B7 tonight he’ll be sitting on top of lord hereford’s knob . E B on touching the trig point i found my thrill E B to the east brokeback mountain , to the west benny hill E B i’ll give you the grid ref - you might like to go : E B so2 24350 . E B could this be heaven , would that be the severn? E B twampa , twampa , you’re gonna need a jumper , E B E B7 it gets a bit chilly on top of lord hereford’s knob . E B E tonight he’ll be sitting on top of lord hereford’s knob . B7 E all of our songs sound the same; B7 E tonight he’ll be sitting on top of lord hereford’s knob . B7 E i’m keeping two chevrons apart; B7 E tonight he’ll be sitting on top of lord hereford’s knob . B7 E you’re the reason why paradise lost; B7 E tonight he’ll be sitting on top of lord hereford’s knob .
