The Place I Love chords by The Jam

The Place I Love

Paul Weller of the Jam

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.
