The Place I Love
Paul Weller of the Jam
>From "All Mod Cons"
This is the improved version: new words and chord fix courtesy
of Davide Musiani
The opening riff is kinda like:
E -|---------------------
B -|---------------------
G -|---------------------
D -|---------------------
A -|--------7-5-7-5------
E -|---5-5----------7---- Repeated 8 times.
Then it goes into an A B E progression. 1 bar A, 1 bar B, two bars E.
I play it kind of ska-like because I can't quite get the
chunk-a-chunka rhythm from the record. Play the progression twice
and then over the verses.
A B C
The place I love is a million miles away.
A B C
It's too far for the eye to see.
Bm E A F#m
Still it's me at least, and you can't come there.
A B C
No one is allowed at all.
Bm E A F#m
Only animals that love, will always, only ever could be.
A B E
And it's always in the back of my mind.
(riff 4 times)
A B E
The place I love is overgrown now,
A B E
with beautiful moss and colorful flowers.
Bm E A F#m
And goldfish that swim in a pool, theres a small brick wall
A B E
With neon lightings controlled by lightning.
Bm E
I'm makin' a stand against the world
A F#m
There's those that would hurt us if they heard.
A B E
And it's always in the back of my mind.
(riff 4 times)
A B E
The place I love is nowhere near here.
A B E
Not within a yard of the trendy do's
Bm E A F#m
Where dogsbodies pick you up, and graciously give you a lift
A B E
with cherished thoughts and bitterness.
Bm E
I'm makin' a stand against the world
A F#m
There's those that would hurt us if they heard.
A B E
And it's always in the back of my mind.
