and one of Eliza Carthy's Ratcatchers.

Lying on the motorway this morning,
C
I thought I heard a distant thunder rolling,
Am G C F
So I lay so still on the motorway,
C
‘Till the cavalcade came screaming past like hellhounds in my ears,
Am G C F
It was over in a moment, the wind like a tornado,
Am G C F
The sweet perfume of petrol like a lovers parting kiss,
Am G C F
Then I closed my eyes on the motorway,
C
And I dreamed about the days gone by, brave boys,
C
I dreamed about the days gone by.
C
Lying on the motorway this evening,
C
The gypsies came up close while I was sleeping,
Am G C F
So quietly down the motorway,
C
Pulling their possessions in the cover of the night,
Am G C F
They too had seen the whirlwind, the shining black procession,
Am G C F
Screaming past like gods ascending through a tarmac sky,
Am G C F
So they hid themselves by the motorway,
C
And dreamed about the days gone by, brave boys,
C
They dreamed about the days gone by.
Am G C F
And what were they doing, those people from the government?
Am G C F
Burning sacrificial gasoline to keep the dogs at bay.
Am G C F
And there were shadows in the hedgerows and strange lights from the sliproads,
C
So we huddle on the motorway, brave boys,
C
We huddled on the motorway
and one of Eliza Carthy's Ratcatchers.
