C, Am, G,       Em(x2)
Verse 1	
CI am Amthe small town linesman
GAnd you'll Emfind me out here on the line.
CSearchinGg ceaselessly to simply
Find a plaAmce i can GcCall mine.
Every cornAmer of this Gcountry
Criss-crossEmed out wCith coloured lines.
The G/Ccity lies before me,
GAnother ciAmty GsprawlCing out behind.
Chorus	  
Cos I’m a fEmrontiers Cman,
Trapped in sEmuburban England.
Verse 2
CSince Amthe Scramble ended,
SincGe the West Emwas won on wagon trails,
CIt seems the GMazzini's paradisical
PanopAmticoGn preCvailed.
My walkAmabouts no Glonger take me
BeyonEmd a choice of dCifferent jails.
Why should G/Ci have to choose a state
GWhen every Amone of Gthem has failCed?
Chorus	  
Cos I’m a fEmrontiers Cman,
Trapped in sEmuburban England.
Build Up to Bridge
DmAnd i promise Cnot to overthrow the state
      D(slide up  Cshape)
If allowed to redraw the atlas before
I DmemiCgrate.
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	  
Cos I’m a fEmrontiers Cman,
Trapped in sEmuburban England.
Build Up to Bridge
DmAnd i promise Cnot to overthrow the state
      D(slide up  Cshape)
If allowed to redraw the atlas before
I DmemiCgrate.
DmAnd I'd glCadly leave your Metternich's alone 
       D(slide up  Cshape)
As long as where
I lay my heDmad Ci can be my very own.
(Repeat Intro)
I am the Winchester lineman.
Chorus	  
Cos I’m a fEmrontiers Cman,
TrappeEmd in suburban England.
Coda
CBut Emhere I will not remain-
CNo I'll ride into the sunset,
Where my horEmse waDmits on the plain,
			   Cslide to 				D  
And I keep walking the li --------- ine.
