Am          C                  G     Dm
White chalk hills are all I've known
Am          C                 G     Dm
White chalk hills will rot my bones
Am          C              G     Dm
White chalk sticking to my shoes
Am          C             G          F
White chalk playing as a child with you

Dm    C   G
Oooh ooh ooooh
Dm    C   G     G
Oooh ooh ooooh

Am          C             G    Dm
White chalk south against time
Am          C                G       Dm
White chalk cutting down the sea at Lyme
Am         C               G    Dm
I walk the valleys by the Cerne
     Am       C                G      Dm
On a path cut fifteen hundred years ago

      F          G                       Am
And I know these chalk hills will rot my bones

Am        C                 G   Dm
Dorset's cliffs meet at the sea
Am       C                G         Dm
Where I walked our unborn child in me
Am           C               G    Dm
White chalk, gorse-scattered land
Am          C
Scratch my palms
        G            Dm
There's blood on my hands
