A minorAm C majorC FF C majorC
Goddamn' Europeans!
A minorAm C majorC FF C majorC
Take me back to beautiful England
A minorAm C majorC FF C majorC A minorAm C majorC FF C majorC
& the grey, damp filthiness of ages & battered books &
C majorC FF C majorC FF
fog rolling down behind the mountains,
C majorC FF C majorC FF
on the graveyards, and dead sea-captains.
A minorAm C majorC FF C majorC
Let me walk through the stinking alleys
A minorAm C majorC FF C majorC
to the music of drunken beatings,
A minorAm C majorC FF C majorC A minorAm C majorC
past the Thames River, glistening like gold
FF G+G
hastily sold for nothing. Nothing.
Here goes little solo, played over the main riff:
A augmentedA||------------------------|--3--3--3---------------||
E MajorE||--0----0--0--3----3--3--|-----------3----3--3----||
Strum the chords in the last verse:
G+G FF A minorAm
Let me watch night fall on the river,
G+G FF A minorAm
the moon rise up and turn to silver,
G+G FF A minorAm
the sky move, the ocean shimmer,
G+G FF
the hedge shake, the last living rose
A minorAm C majorC FF C majorC
quiver.
