The song is in 4/4 timing and these chords are played for 7 bars .. then
the vocals come in ....
D5 E5 D5 C5 D5 E5 D5
i thought i heard something .. calling me .. i've seen the
C5 D5 E5 D5 C5
pictures on T.V .. and i made up my mind that i'd go and
D5 E5 D5 C5 D5 E5
see with my own eyes.. it didn't take too
D5 C5 D5 E5 D5 C5
long to hitch a ride .. with a guy going south to start a
D5 E5 D5 C5 D5 E5 D5
new life .. past the place where my friend died two years ago.
C5 D5 Em d C D
Down the three-o-three at the end of the road...
Em D C D Em D
flashing lights .. exclusion zones .. and it made me think
C D Em
its not just the stones that they are gaurding...
D C D Em D C D Em D
Hey .. now cant you see ... theres nothing here
C Em D
that you can call free .. they're getting their kicks
C D Em D C D
they're laughing at you and me...
For all you lightwights that don't know what it is about ...
The lovely police ... Nice men and women that they are decided
that a certain number of peace loving individuals should not
be allowed access to a festival ground near stone hendge....
There had been a festival on the site for years (untill 1983
that is ... ) when the police beat everyone crapless ..
very nice of them if you ask me ... and decided that the
festival goers which actually just a bunch of annoying hippies
to be pushed around when ever a bored policeman/woman had
nothing better to do...
and so they did exactly that ... and ever since there has been
no free festival there... (but one VERY close to it)...
Isn't it nice to know that you live in a free country ..
BML.....
Have fun working it out .. you'll have to listen to the song to
get the correct timings ... mainly because i am just to lazy to
bother writing it out in tab ... oh well .. students eh?? who needs
them....
bye...
