The Rolling Stones - 2000 Light Years From Home (chords) guitar tab

2000 LIGHT YEARS FROM HOME [A start]

(Jagger/Richards)

The "breaks" in this tune are, in my opinion, the coolest part of

the song. I only wish I knew what they were; too much for me,

especially stuck with a mere acoustic! Please, somebody, HELP!

Fm

Sun turning 'round with graceful motion

We're setting off with soft explosion

Bbm

Bound for a star with fiery oceans

Ab

It's so very lonely

Bb C Fm

You're a hundred light years from home

Freezing red deserts turn to dark

Energy here in every part

It's so very lonely

you're six hundred light years from home

[Break: Instrumental for first two verse lines, then "it's so

very lonely, you're a thousand light years from home. Then the

two-bars worth of music that normally ends the stanza; then

repeating "it's so very lonely, you're a thousand light years

from home." Back to Intro-type music.]

Bell flight fourteen you can now land

See you on Alpha (?) Boran

Safe on the green desert sand

It's so very lonely

you're two thousand light years from home

[Some music pretty much like the break, but mutating into other

stuff to a beautifully messy end.]
