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

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

         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,
           D                                 Em7
And though none of them still live here, I've got nowhere to go,
      G                                               D
I'm a Wessex Boy, a Wessex boy and when I'm here I'm home
