Main riff goes like this (simplified):

     Am         C             F       C
G |  | -------0----------0----- | -------0----------0----- |  | 
D |  | -------2----------0----- | -------2----------0----- |  | 
A |  | --2-------2--2-------2-- | --3-------3--2-------2-- |  | 
E |  | --0-------0--3-------3-- | --3-------3--3-------3-- |  | 

Try to catch the groove!


Am  C    F    C
Goddamn' Europeans!
Am       C       F        C
Take me back to beautiful England
Am      C         F     C      Am   C  F        C
& the grey, damp filthiness of ages & battered books &

C    F       C               F
fog rolling down behind the mountains,
C        F          C            F
on the graveyards, and dead sea-captains.

Am      C      F                 C
Let me walk through the stinking alleys
Am      C         F      C
to the music of drunken beatings,
Am         C     F       C         Am   C
past the Thames River, glistening like gold
F                G
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:

G             F                  Am
Let me watch night fall on the river,
G                     F         Am
the moon rise up and turn to silver,
G               F         Am
the sky move, the ocean shimmer,
G                     F
the hedge shake, the last living rose
Am            C F C
quiver.
