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 I’m 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
