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. A5 B5 C5 The place I love is a million miles away. A5 B5 C5 It's too far for the eye to see. B5 E5 A5 F#5 Still it's me at least, and you can't come there. A5 B5 C5 No one is allowed at all. B5 E5 A5 F#5 Only animals that love, will always, only ever could be. A5 B5 E5 And it's always in the back of my mind. (riff 4 times) A5 B5 E5 The place I love is overgrown now, A5 B5 E5 with beautiful moss and colorful flowers. B5 E5 A5 F#5 And goldfish that swim in a pool, theres a small brick wall A5 B5 E5 With neon lightings controlled by lightning. B5 E5 I'm makin' a stand against the world A5 F#5 There's those that would hurt us if they heard. A5 B5 E5 And it's always in the back of my mind. (riff 4 times) A5 B5 E5 The place I love is nowhere near here. A5 B5 E5 Not within a yard of the trendy do's B5 E5 A5 F#5 Where dogsbodies pick you up, and graciously give you a lift A5 B5 E5 with cherished thoughts and bitterness. B5 E5 I'm makin' a stand against the world A5 F#5 There's those that would hurt us if they heard. A5 B5 E5 And it's always in the back of my mind. (riff 2 times) B5 E5 I'm makin' a stand against the world A5 F#5 There's those that would hurt us if they heard. A5 B5 E5 And it's always in the back of my mind.
