{c: }
As [D] I camped out one evening to [A] take the midnight [D] air
I heard a maiden grieving from [G] somewhere over [A] there
Who [G] is it you are [D] mourning; for [G] whom do you wear [D] grey?
She [G] said I pine for [D] no one - I [E7] just can't pay my [A7] way.
{c: }
Ever [G] since the chattering [D] classes in-[A]-vaded Hebden [D] Bridge
And [G] priced the likes of [D] me and mine to the [E7] pots of the Pennine [A] Ridge
To [G] South East Wales I was [D] forced to flee and [G] now I have no [D] job
That's why tonight I'm [G] sitting on [A7] top of Lord Hereford's [D] Knob.
{c: }
For you I'd waive expenses to [A] try and help you [D] out
For your beauty influences the [G] landscape herea-[A]-bouts
Look [G] up my betrothed at [D] Three Cocks; be [G] sure she'll see you [D] right
While [G] I go up to [D] Yorkshire and [E7] there avenge your [A7] plight.
{c: }
Soon [G] reports were filtering [D] through to me the [A] pair were drowning in [D] bliss
I [G] can't recall having [D] ever been cuck-[E7]-olded quite like [A] this
I [G] gave up hope [D] ironically for Lent, [G]
Come [D] see me living in a [G] bivvie if [A7] you're ever up Pen-Y-[D]-Ghent.
{c: }
Although upon reflection I've [A] been a trifle [D] green
I still think with affection on [G] everything that's [A] been
So pre-[G]-pare that fatted [D] calf and string [G] up the bunting [D] gay
Your [G] brisk and bonny [D] ploughboy is [E7] coming home to-[A7]-day.
And to-[D]-night he'll be sitting on [A] top of Lord Hereford's [D] Knob.
[A7] Tonight he'll be sitting on top of Lord Hereford's Knob.
{c: }
On [D] touching the trig point [A] I found my thrill
To the [D] east Brokeback Mountain, to the [A] west Benny Hill
I'll [G] give you the grid ref - you [A] might like to go:
[D] S O 2 2 [D] 4 3 5 0.
[D] Could this be heaven, would [A] that be the Severn?
[D] Tumpa, Tumpa, you're [A] gonna need a jumper,
It [D] gets a bit chilly on [A] top of Lord Hereford's [D] Knob.
{c: }
To-[D]-night he'll be sitting on [A] top of Lord Hereford's [D] Knob.
[A7] All of our songs sound the [D] same;
Tonight he'll be sitting on [A7] top of Lord Hereford's [D] Knob.
I'm [A7] keeping two chevrons ap-[D]-art;
Tonight he'll be sitting on [A7] top of Lord Hereford's [D] Knob.
You're the [A7] reason why paradise [D] lost;
Tonight he'll be sitting on [A7] top of Lord Hereford's [D] Knob.
