Acoustic Intro Riff:
Just hold a D chord shape and pick the following pattern
Then The Electric lead Riff comes in (this is just a rough guess at it)
(The chords under this electric riff are F, G, Dm listen to the song to work out the
timing of the changes)
The Final Time the riff changes after the 9h10p9 to this:
[Dm]Boy you've dug your head out of a thousand[Am] holes
[Dm]You've gotta stand up, you gotta take the [Am]blows
[Am]Cos if you d[F]on't take the blows then the gi[C]rl won't sing
And the [Em]grass won't grow
[Dm]Sometimes I think that I [Am]think too much
[Dm]And that it's all in my head, [Am]and I can't touch
Cos if you [F]touch too much then the [C]lights won't go on
And the [Em]water won't flush

[D]And I'm chasing all my [Bm]cares away
[D]Fighting for freedom [Bm]for one day
[D]I'm chasing all my [Bm]cares away
[C]So take me [G]to that beautiful [D]way
Interlude Chords over the Lead riff: F, G, Dm x 3
[Dm]Nigel said my eyes look [Am]blank too much
[Dm]And if I carry on my [Am]mind will turn to mush
And if it [F]turns to mush then the [C]strings won't rattle
And the [Em]paint won't brush
[Dm]He said you're only happy when you're[Am] pissed
[Dm]I said "No I'm not", [Am]he said "I insist"
How [F]many times should you have [C]blown a kiss
But [Em]instead you swung your fist
[D]And I'm chasing all my [Bm]cares away
[D]Fighting for freedom [Bm]for one day
[D]I'm chasing all my [Bm]cares away
[C]So take me [G]to that beautiful [D]way
[Dm]What was that dripping [A#]away?
Oh was it water or [F]time?
Was it a stunt or a [C]crime?
[Dm]You can only own your o[A#]wn life
So I own [F]mine, I own [C]miiiiiiiiiiiii[A]iiiiiiiiine
