Standard (EADGBE)
Verse
1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 &
I was born on a close street down a hill
Mauve and so did my hands Oh and the
1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 &
The trees that lined the street could sense the winter change they felt the
Sound
There was no sound and Im freezing in the
1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 &
chill they ducked and dived and so we knew that they were alive
sun Nobody cares to hide the dopeheads and the suicides
1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 &
Until the year the silver rain came down the trees turned
1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 &
Cause everyone freezes in the sun
Verse 2
Basically, the same structure of the first verse, but the order of the chords is
flipped. Each line below = 1 bar
I kicked around with
Harry who lived near Salisbury Plain
He worked on the cathedral there
every now and again he worked with
stone, carved with stone
Odd jobs on the telephone
One sunny day he was sent to the
Houses of Parliament
chippin' away at gargoyles
Under the blistering sun
He carved out "Maggie Sucks" on the
backs of every one
And so in five-hundred years
There's gonna be some history here
After it all subsides in the sun
Chorus
Play the riff on the C chord from the end of the first verse 4X, and over the last
two times through, sing:
And it's fallin' away
Verse
This one is the same chord changes from the first verse.
Another day, another loon
A new pied piper calls the
Tune so blow it up, watch it explode
Noah's ark on overload
Wrestle with the results and
throw 'em round the ring
Everybody knows there
ain't no rules in wrestling
The referee's a dupe
Who only old ladies and children be-
-lieve,
I'm getting up now to leave
I'll go back to that street someday
The air's better there anyway
Though the trees are still gonna freeze in the sun
Chorus/Outro:
Use the Riff from the first chorus, but on F where noted.
And it's fallin' away
And I don't wanna know
I'm glad I don't know
What's draggin' it un der
