Into the Mild

A#/A A
Into the mild,
Dm Dm/C Dm/B Dm/Bb Dm F A7
A rundown trailer in the West Wight
Dm C F G D C G
Stacked with Mama noodles and cheap red wine
Dm Dm/C Dm/B Dm/Bb Dm F A7
A smoky boiler, fired with a flickering light

Em D A
With my dear kitten for warmth
Eb Bb F Eb
Lo-fi songs, my goose-fart rasp
Gm C
Oom-cha-cha drums and mis-plucked strings
Eb Bb F Eb
A wheezing harmonica, my failed gasps

Neighbours with big dogs and tattoos
Wary of drunken bohemians like me
Strict rules about disposal of rubbish
I’ll fit in like salt in a fresh cup of tea

I can moulder in solitude, safe offline
Venture only to Compton in the height of summer
Or Ventnor for cream tea when my family visit
Before returning for a long winter slumber
