E      Bm       A                    C#m
And into the sea goes pretty England and me
  C                Bm         E
Around the Bay of Biscay and back for tea
E                  Bm
Hit traffic on the Dogger Bank
A                       C#m
Up the Thames to find a taxi rank
 C                   Bm       E
Sail on by with the tide and go to sleep
And the radio says

Chorus:
E          D    E            Am   Bm
This is a low, but it won't hurt you
E             D  E             Am    Bm
When you're alone, it will be there with you
C                Bm7    E
Finding ways to stay solo

Up the Tyne, Forth and Cromarty
There's a low in the high forties
Saturday's locked away on the pier
Not fast enough, dear
And on the Malin head
Blackpool looks blue and red
And the Queen, she's gone 'round the bend
Jumped off Land's End
And the radio says

Chorus

This is a low
But it won't hurt you
When you're alone
It will be there with you
This is a low
But it won't hurt you
When you're alone
It will be there with you
Finding ways to stay solo
