Standard tuning
Barre all chords!
(chords position = totally random. you´ll figure it out.) The Bb - F part is
probably wrong, but this version works out okey i think. you can try dm7 instead
of F. that works too, but i guess it´s not quite like the original.)

*..............The rest of the song is quite the same............*
Don't go, China show, new so blue so who's aboard the boats these days
Some people are fixing the terrible mixing the crew of old whose sailors say
*whistling*
Your life might be a mess of lights when you're on your own
But the lights you'll see form a line that'll be pointing all the way home
I was here before
My name was on the door
Took a score of years to get to your seat
I'll send the next in line, he'll be a clean sheet
(I'm alright!) x8
