---------------------------------------- Intro
B  Bm  (twice)

---------------------------------------- Part A1
B                                     B7
  The time you won your town the race
B                                          B7
  We chaired you through the market-place;
B/E                                                          B
  Man and boy and boy and man and man and boy stood cheering   by,
B(add#9)                  B               B(add#11)  B  B(add#11)
  And home we brought you shoulder-high.

---------------------------------------- Part A2
B                                   B7
  Today, the road all runners come,
B                                  B7
  Shoulder-high we bring you home,
B/E                                                                   B
  And set you at set you at your threshold, set you at your threshold   down,
F#m(add11)    F#(add11)   B     B(add#11)  B  B(add#11)
  Townsman of   a stiller town.

---------------------------------------- Part B1
Em Eaug(add#9)  Dadd11             Cadd9
Oo smart lad,   o to slip betimes away
Em   D11/C        Dadd11        G/D  GM7/D
From fields where glory doesn't stay ay,

---------------------------------------- Part C1
Bm
Early though the laurel grows
G(add#9)
It withers quicker than the rose.
Bm
Eyes the shade, shady night has shut
G(add#9)
Cannot see, see the record cut,
    Bm                           G(add#9)
And silence sounds no worse than cheers
      F#(add11)             G      A
After earth has stopped the ears.
B  B(add#11)  B  B(add#11)

---------------------------------------- Part B2
Em Eaug(add#9)  Dadd11                  Cadd9
Oo now o        now you won't swell the rout
Em  D11/C     Dadd11             G/D  GM7/D  G7/D
Of  lads that wore their honours out  out    out,

---------------------------------------- Part C2
Bm        G(add#9)
So set, before its echoes fade,
Bm             G(add#9)
The fleet foot on the sill
Bm           G(add#9)
Of shade and hold to the low
       F#(add11)
Lintel up, hold it up, hold it up
G  A  B  B(add#11)
Ah ah ah
B(add11)  B(add11)* (alternating)
