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.

Bm E

A F#m

A B E

And it's always in the back of my mind.
