this is pretty easy song once you get the rhythm right , you will need a capo on 5th fret .

here’s chords relative to the 5th fret :

Am [ 0 2 2 0 x x ]
C [ 3 2 0 0 x x ]
F [ 3 3 2 0 x x ]
G [ x x 0 2 3 2 ]

main riff goes like this ( simplified ) :

Am C F C
G | | – – – – – – – 0 – – – – – – – – – – 0 – – – – – | – – – – – – – 0 – – – – – – – – – – 0 – – – – – | |

try to catch the groove!

Am C F C
goddamn’ europeans!
Am C F C
take me back to beautiful england
Am C F C Am C F C
& the grey , damp filthiness of ages & battered books &

C F C F
fog rolling down behind the mountains ,
C F C F
on the graveyards , and dead sea – captains .

Am C F C
let me walk through the stinking alleys
Am C F C
to the music of drunken beatings ,
Am C F C Am C
past the thames river , glistening like gold
F G
hastily sold for nothing . nothing .

here goes little solo , played over the main riff :
A | | – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – | – – 3 – – 3 – – 3 – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – | |
E | | – – 0 – – – – 0 – – 0 – – 3 – – – – 3 – – 3 – – | – – – – – – – – – – – 3 – – – – 3 – – 3 – – – – | |

strum the chords in the last verse :

G F Am
let me watch night fall on the river ,
G F Am
the moon rise up and turn to silver ,
G F Am
the sky move , the ocean shimmer ,
G F
the hedge shake , the last living rose
Am C F C
quiver .

Am C F C
