D G
Let me tell you all a little story of the things I've found,
D G
Hanging out and drinking with my friends in the cathedral grounds,
D G
And later dodging drunks as we dance along Jewry Street,
D G
As we wander up town to the railway our friends to meet,
D Em7
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 Em7
And though none of them still live here, I've got nowhere to go,
G D
I'm a Wessex Boy and when I'm here I'm home
Melody: (or on one guitar repeat the intro x2)

D G
Let me tell you all a little story of the things I've lost,
D G
Huddling for warmth on the top step of the Buttercross,
D G
Sitting on the benches by the bridges at the riverside,
D G
Of counting down the hours for the buses cause I missed my ride
D Em7
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 Em7
And though none of them still live here, I've got nowhere to go,
G Bm
I'm a Wessex Boy, a Wessex boy and when I'm here I'm home
G Em7 D
And one day I will hear this song anonymous and sweet,
Bm G Em7 D
Ringing out from a buskers guitar on the ancient city streets,
Bm G Em7 D
I'll pause a while and smile before I continue on alone,
Em7 G
And somebody else will sing the words and I'll feel like I'm home
the 0's here are played fast and quietly (you could probably go without them)

D Em7
There's something about hometowns you never can escape
G
The triumphs and the tragedies, the tawdry little fates
D Em7
The welling of nostalgia, the feeling kinda strange
G
Cause despite all the little changes, this place still feels the same
D Em7
There's something about coming back to your hometown again,
G
The place where you grew up and where you found your firmest friends,
