Sometimes, people you love, go missing. It's a shame when it happens. But, if they're enjoying themselves, why not?!
lyrics
Alfred Wainwright Stole My Gal
G
There are two hundred and fourteen, big and small
C7
Mountainsides that she must crawl
G Gdim7 D7 G
Alfred Wainwright stole my gal
She has all his books, all handwritten
With his prose she has been smitten
Alfred Wainwright stole my gal
She’s become obsessed by peaks and fells
Captivated by his lofty spells
Alfred Wainwright stole my gal
The vertiginous crags, the vicious cliffs
Are all hers now no buts or ifs
Alfred Wainwright stole my gal
C7
Every weekend she’s slipping on scree
G
Wading tarns away from me
A7
Her working week her life back home
D7
Can all go hang for the right to roam
She even stays up upon the heights
Summits up if she stays all night
Alfred Wainwright stole my gal
But once you’re up one fell she said
Might as well put the others to bed
Alfred Wainwright stole my gal
C7
Every weekend she’s slipping on scree
G
Wading tarns away from me
A7
Her working week her life back home
D7
Can all go hang for the right to roam
Pawing maps and plotting routes
Off too eagerly forgetting boots
Alfred Wainwright stole my gal
Instrumental: C7 G A7 D7 G C7 G Gdim7 D7 G
I’ve been up with her but as you might guess
It was always under severe duress
Alfred Wainwright stole my gal
She even makes those silly detours
For the views overcast across the moors
Alfred Wainwright stole my gal
C7
Every weekend she’s slipping on scree
G
Wading tarns away from me
A7
Her working week her life back home
D7
Can all go hang for the right to roam
With compass oiled the backpack stuffed
If friends go with her they go up cuffed
Alfred Wainwright stole my gal
All the slog, the pain, the cold
Justified by Loweswater gold
Alfred Wainwright stole my gal
G
The relationship may never end
C7
With this late, Lakeland legend
G Gdim7 D7 G
Alfred Wainwright stole my...
G Gdim7 D7 G
Alfred Wainwright stole my...
G Gdim7 D7 Eb7 G
Alfred Wainwright stole my gal
