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
