Bb
A grey and dark day in Yorkshire
        D                 Gm
Old man Arthur's drinking tea
C
Thinking of the girls he had
        F
They're now just memory
   Bb
He lives inside his lonely head
    D               Gm
His days are nearly spent
    C
The sun floods through the cat's whisker

And this is how it went

[Chorus]
F                    A
Oh darling come back home
                   Bb
England's grown so cold
                      F    C
And all the village know
             F
You were for youth,
                      A
You scarcely knew the truth,
                       Bb
Who loved you for your moves
      F     Dm                   C            Bb
Would never love you when you're old and all alone

[Verse 2]
Bb
Oh, sweetheart darling
         D7                 Gm
You were England's first romance
C
How the boys all loved you
         F
Though I never had the chance
     Bb
Then Tinseltown came calling
    D7                Gm
And all the village cried
   C
To wave goodbye to their honeypie
    F                    C
For Arthur nearly died


[Chorus]
F                    A
Oh darling come back home
                   Bb
England's grown so cold
                      F    C
And all the village know
             F
You were for youth,
                      A
You scarcely knew the truth,
                       Bb
Who loved you for your moves
      F     Dm                   C            Bb
Would never love you when you're old and all alone

F   A   Bb   A#m   Dm  C  4x

[Chorus]
F                    A
Oh darling come back home
                 Bb
England's grown so cold
