Try to catch the groove!


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.
