Back in time
Graham Parker
Intro [(Em-Em/Em7)x3 times ,then Dsus2]x4 times
G Bm
You stop in the old cafe where you used to play pinball
C Am C
G
And look for the air-raid shelter but it's gone and the cafe seems so
G Bm
small and all the gardens That had trees and stolen apples
C Am C G
now have small businesses flourishing in cinder blocks
G Am Bm C
Then they will call your name and hand you a gold watch
G Am Bm C
Then they will call your name but it doesn't sound like much
Em C Bm Am
And you'll never discover why it's like an old lover
G Am Bm C
you can't touch anymore It doesn't mean much anymore
Dsus2 Em/Em7--------Dsus2(riff intro)
when you go back in time back in time
G Bm
You head down to the local try to find a focal point
C Am C G
A scratch in the wallpaper but it's all been wallpapered over
G Bm
Down at the newsagents it's all pornography
C Am C
G
And you try to get high again but it's like time-lapse photography
G Am Bm C
Then they will call your name and hand you a medal
G Am Bm C
Or something more practical like a whistling kettle
Em C Bm Am
and it'll test your metal Just try to keep grinning
G Am Bm C
knowing that this feeling is Indulgence worse than sinning
Dsus2 Em/Em7--------Dsus2(riff intro)
trying to go back in time
Instrumental: G Bm C Am C (2 times then riff intro)
G Bm
Photographs with a glossy finish letters lovers never finished
C Am C G
And there in a dusty drawer a necktie you once wore
G Bm
And a girl you tried to court made you feel about two feet short
C Am C
G
Where is she now today? What would she have to say?
G Am Bm C
Then they will call your name and hand you a pension
G Am Bm C
A bottle of pills that guarantee life extension
Em C Bm Am
and give you a mention in the local boy makes good section
G Am Bm C
But all the old news is like print stains across your mind
Dsus2 Em/Em7--------Dsus2(riff intro)
when you go back in time
I have maked this chord-tab because there isn't one, right , on the entire web of this
nice song of Graham Parker.
Enjoy !!!!
