The opening riff is kinda like: E - | --------------------- B - | --------------------- G - | --------------------- D - | --------------------- A - | --------7-5-7-5------ E - | ---5-5----------7---- Repeated 8 times. Then it goes into an A B E progression. 1 bar A, 1 bar B, two bars E. I play it kind of ska-like because I can't quite get the chunk-a-chunka rhythm from the record. Play the progression twice and then over the verses. A B C The place I love is a million miles away. A B C It's too far for the eye to see. Bm E A F#m Still it's me at least, and you can't come there. A B C No one is allowed at all. Bm E A F#m Only animals that love, will always, only ever could be. A B E And it's always in the back of my mind. (riff 4 times) A B E The place I love is overgrown now, A B E with beautiful moss and colorful flowers. Bm E A F#m And goldfish that swim in a pool, theres a small brick wall A B E With neon lightings controlled by lightning. Bm E I'm makin' a stand against the world A F#m There's those that would hurt us if they heard. A B E And it's always in the back of my mind. (riff 4 times) A B E The place I love is nowhere near here. A B E Not within a yard of the trendy do's Bm E A F#m Where dogsbodies pick you up, and graciously give you a lift A B E with cherished thoughts and bitterness. Bm E I'm makin' a stand against the world A F#m There's those that would hurt us if they heard. A B E And it's always in the back of my mind. (riff 2 times) Bm E I'm makin' a stand against the world A F#m There's those that would hurt us if they heard. A B E And it's always in the back of my mind.
