  Mother England Reverie             capo 2 fret 
  
  E 
  Em          D                C (5string|-slide 7 to 2---)Em riff 1 Em 
  I have no time for Time Magazine or Rolling Stone. 
  Em          D                C (5string|-slide 7 to 2---)Em riff 1 Em 
  I have no wish for wishing wells or wishing bones. 
  Em          D                C (5string|-slide 7 to 2---)Em riff 1 Em 
  I have no house in the country I have no motor car. 
  G                         D  
  And if you think I'm joking, 
        C                             (5string|-slide 7 to 2---)Em riff 1 Em 
  then I'm just a one-line joker in a public bar. 
  Em                            D 
  And it seems there's no-body left for 
   C                    (5string|-slide 7 to 2---)Em riff 1 Em 
  tennis; and I'm a one-band-man. 
  G                         D   C      (5string|-slide 7 to 2---)Em riff 1 Em 
  And I want no Top Twenty funeral or a hundred grand. 
    
  
  Em          D                     Em 
  There was a little boy stood on a burning log, 
   G              D     Bm      B7 
     rubbing his hands with glee. 
  G                         D 
  He said, ``Oh Mother England, 
          Em           A   Am           C                    D  B7 
    did you light my smile; or did you light this fire under me? 
  G                   D                     Em 
  One day I'll be a minstrel in the gallery. 
  G                    D              B7 
  And paint you a picture of the queen. 
       G              D          Em        A     Am 
  And if sometimes I sing to a cynical degree --- 
  Am           C                    D  B7 
  it's just the nonsense that it seems.'' 
  G                    D                      Em 
  So I drift down through the Baker Street valley, 
  G                    D      B7 
  in my steep-sided un-reality. 
           G                D 
  And when all is said and all is done --- I couldn't wish 
               Em A  
  for a better one. 
  Am        C                        D B7 
  It's a real-life ripe dead certainty --- 
    
  
  that I'm just a Baker Street Muse.
