FIRST SECTION

(In 6/8 time - chorus switches to a kind of slow swing rhythm based on it)

This riff goes over the top of the chords given; begin with the riff, then branch out,

and just arpeggiate the chords you are playing randomly.

Sit down my love of open spaces

And greet my love that's all been spent

I'm going to tell you both a story

About some memories that I've dreamt

See I've lost love in many places

Not least the streets of São Paulo

One friend especially I did make there

A tenth floor window took her home

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sometimes I could cry for miles

 Sometimes I could cry for miles

 Sometimes I could cry for miles

 But I don't

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So hush the shadows in the oak tree

Be still the curlew on the moor

My heart has fallen by the wayside

I cannot claim her anymore

So don your duffel coats quite slowly

And this drop jury shall adjourn

And on the streets of old São Paulo

I watched my baby being burned

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sometimes I could cry for miles

 Sometimes I could cry for miles

 Sometimes I could cry for miles

 But I don't

Sometimes I could cry nine times

 Drop my bags and run for miles

 Sometimes I could live nine lives

 But I won't, but I wooooon't

Piano solo

God knows what you can do with this, just strum the chords really...

 Have you ever been thrown across the water

 Have you ever been thrown across the water

 Have you ever been thrown across the water

When there's no skin left on your bones......

 Thrown across the water, thrown across the water, thrown across the water like a stone

Thrown across the water, thrown across the water, thrown across the water like a stone

Thrown across the water, thrown across the water, thrown across the water like a stone

Thrown across the water, thrown across the water, thrown across the water like a stone

Ah, get me a doctor, get me a doctor, who will get rid of my bones

Oh, get me a lover, get me a lover, who will leave my little head alone

Ah, get me a soldier, get me a soldier, who will fight me a pointless war

Ah, get me an exit, I need an exit, be it window, or be it door

Thrown across the water, thrown across the water, thrown across the water like a stoooone

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah.. (lol)

Ah, get me a lawyer, get me a lawyer, who will sue the world for me

Ah, get me a poison, get me a poison, get me a poison who isn't me

Cos I'm getting tired, I'm getting tired, of my stupid little face

I, don't belong here, don't belong here, don't belong in this horse-race

Na na na na na na na na naa naa.....

Na na na na na na na na naa naa.....

Na na na na na na na na naa naa.....

Na na na na naaaaaaa naaaaaaaaa.....

[Improv etc - hit guitar and random objects]

Oooooooooohhh.....

Thrown across the water, thrown across the water, thrown across the water like a stone

Thrown across the water, thrown across the water, thrown across the water like a stone...

Hope you enjoyed that :-)
