Try to catch the groove!


A5  C5    F5    C5
Goddamn' Europeans!
A5       C5       F5        C5
Take me back to beautiful England
A5      C5         F5     C5      A5   C5  F5        C5
& the grey, damp filthiness of ages & battered books &

C5    F5       C5               F5
fog rolling down behind the mountains,
C5        F5          C5            F5
on the graveyards, and dead sea-captains.

A5      C5      F5                 C5
Let me walk through the stinking alleys
A5      C5         F5      C5
to the music of drunken beatings,
A5         C5     F5       C5         A5   C5
past the Thames River, glistening like gold
F5                G5
hastily sold for nothing. Nothing.


Here goes little solo, played over the main riff:
A |  | ------------------------ | --3--3--3--------------- |  | 
E |  | --0----0--0--3----3--3-- | -----------3----3--3---- |  | 


Strum the chords in the last verse:

G5             F5                  A5
Let me watch night fall on the river,
G5                     F5         A5
the moon rise up and turn to silver,
G5               F5         A5
the sky move, the ocean shimmer,
G5                     F5
the hedge shake, the last living rose
A5            C5 F5 C5
quiver.
