Biography:
Million Dead were a London-based punk band that formed back in late 2000 through out of work associations, mutual friends and in the case of vocalist Frank Turner and drummer Ben Dawson from their previous band Kneejerk and ended after a farewell UK tour in September 2005.
The combination of original guitarist Cameron Dean's diverse and intricate guitar riffs along with the powerhouse combination of Julia Ruzicka's bass lines were the perfect backdrop to Turner's often upfront and outspoken views on UK politics and society as a whole.

Intro
C, Am, G, Em (x2)
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.
G/C
The city lies before me,
G Am G C
Another city sprawling out behind.
Chorus
Em C
Cos I’m a frontiers man,
Em
Trapped in suburban England.
Verse 2
C Am
Since the Scramble ended,
G Em
Since the West was won on wagon trails,
C G
It seems the Mazzini's paradisical
Am G C
Panopticon prevailed.
Am G
My walkabouts no longer take me
Em C
Beyond a choice of different jails.
G/C
Why should i have to choose a state
G Am G C
When every one of them has failed?
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.
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.
