Gavin Osborn's plan for his second record was to make an upbeat album, filled with positive songs to perk us all up in these troubled times. But the plan failed, and 'Meeting Your Heroes' is essentially about love, heartbreak and nostalgia. Which is far better. Featuring a collection of live favourites including 'Charlie's 18th Birthday'', 'Sweet Bedford' and 'FM2030', the story of the famous cryogenically-frozen futurist.
Previously, Gavin has written for and performed on BBC Radio 4 and Resonance FM.

AAsus4A E ----------- B -2h3p2----- G -------2--- D ----------- A ----------- E -----------
VERSE: ADAAsus4A Who told you folk music was yours ADAAsus4A Is it something you heard in the chords
F#m Did you dig up our roots F#m From the fiddle and the flute ADAAsus4A Or was it the ghost of Saint George AEAAsus4A Who told you folk music was yours
VERSE: ADAAsus4A Who showed you your family tree ADAAsus4A 'Cause those branches are broken you see F#m Did your nationalist pain F#m Spring from Celts and Danes ADAAsus4A Or was it our half German queen AEAAsus4A Who showed you your family tree
PRE-CHORUS: F#m Playing Bellowhead backwards F#mA Do you Anglo Saxons all hear E A subliminal code and
F#m Is your whole agenda F#mA Mapped out by the end of the spinning reel E By Spears and Bowden
CHORUS: D Or do you see a country E Draped in red and white F#m Where blacks only seen B Under cover of night
D Do the Ceilidh Caller E And the Morris Man F#m All appeal to your sense BDDDD Of a long lost England
VERSE: ADAAsus4A But who said you have right to belong ADAAsus4A Was that something you stole from our songs F#m That have been sung through out time F#m Every note, every line ADAAsus4A Hand me down by the writer Anon AEAAsus4A Did he say you have right to belong
VERSE: ADAAsus4A And who gave you the key to the door ADAAsus4A Did you pick it up during the war F#m Keep it in your pocket F#m Until it's time to unlock it ADAAsus4A And stop anyone from coming ashore AEAAsus4A For who gave you the key to the door
PRE-CHORUS: F#m Or was it the underdog F#mA All that hard work and slog E From sailors to farmers
F#m And that formed your racism F#mA Your sense of place and your love E Of a tikka masala
CHORUS: D All them songs about soldiers E All sent off to war F#mB Make you forget what you were fighting for
D As you fly the flag E And dream of green pastures F#m We recall the strength BB Of the Tolpuddle martyrs
BREAK; BC#mF#m Well you can still make a fuss at any debate DE Oh but here social justice transcends every race DEF#mF#mF#mF#m But I'm glad you think folk music's good DEAAAsus4Asus4AA But you seem to have misunderstood /// / /// / ///
VERSE: ADAAsus4A So stop sitting there on the fence ADAAsus4A The fight is about to commence F#m Songs bring us together F#m But to change the weather ADAAsus4A But then it's up to the whole audience AEAAsus4A So stop sitting there on the fence
VERSE: ADAAsus4A 'Cause folk music belongs to us all ADAAsus4A It catches whenever we fall F#m Across villages and towns F#m The songs will ring out Bm Down the valleys and streams Bm Carrying hopes and dreams F#m You can hear people come F#m To the sound of the drum Bm It's inclusivity Bm Just the fact that it's free
ADAAsus4A Means no fences, no doors, no walls AEAAsus4A 'Cause folk music belongs to us all
OUTRO: F#m It's inclusivity F#m The mere fact that it's free ADAAsus4A Means no fences, no doors, no walls AEDDDAEA 'Cause folk music belongs to us all /// /// / / /
