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
