lyrics

Breamore


Em C6 C
Take the lane from the Bat and Ball
Am7 Em
Down to the Avon and the fields of marsh
Em C6 C
Onto the platform at Breamore Halt
Am7 Bm7
Heading north up along the old railway's course

Moss grown fence-posts and new-grown trees
Dead sweetcorn, rusted iron, water either side
A widened road runs up to Salisbury
Steam became petrol as the old line died

Am Bm7
No trace remains of the day in June
Am G
When the rolling-stock screamed with the sounds of pain
F Em
And this place became a scene of doom
Dm E7
And they lurched like a drunkard into the drain

G#m7 C#m7 G#m7 C#m7
Make a chant for Emily, Lilian, Mary and George
A F#m C#m
Om Taro Tuttare Ture Svaha
G#m A E F#m
Incense and flowers so they don't need stay more
Am Dm Am
Trapped in the hiatus of their final hour

Walk back across mist-laden chalk
Past the Gallows Hill and the Giant's Grave
The Tudor mansion and the Saxon church
As the crows and gulls circle the end of the day

Am7 Bm7
Stop a while in the Bat and Ball
Am G
Where Sunday diners soak up the warmth
F Em
And know nothing of 1884
Dm Am
When this place became a morgue
