**This phrase is repeated at other times in the song, just listen to find out when**
Verse:
Em C G D
Running down around the town's along the shore
Em C G D
I was sixteen and on my own
Em C G D
Though I couldn't tell you what the hell those breaks were for
Em C G D
I was just trying to hear my song
Em C G D
Jimmy found his own sweet sound, when he won that free guitar
Em C G D
We'd all get in the van and play
Em C G D
Life became the paradox, the bear, the rouge et noir
Em C G D
And a stretch of road running to L.A
Pre-Chorus:
Em C G D
Pages turning, pages we were years from learning
Em C G D
Straight into the night our hearts were flung
Chorus:
C G D C G D
Better bring your own redemption when you come
C G D C
To the barricades of heaven where I'm from
Verse:
Em C G D
All the world was shining from those hills
Em C G D
The stars above and the lights below
Em C G D
Among those there to test their fortunes and their wills
Em C G D
I lost track of the score long ago
Pre-Chorus:
Em C G D
Pages turning, pages we were years from learning
Em C G D
Straight into the night our hearts were flung
Chorus:
C G D C G D
Better bring your own redemption when you come
C G D C
To the barricades of heaven where I'm from
Bridge:
Em F C
Childhood comes for me at night
Em F C
Voices of my friends
Em F C
Your face bathing me in light
Em F C
Hope that never ends
Little Musical Interlude:
same chords as verse. good section for a bit of the ol' improvised solo. the key
being G major (or E minor). Blues scale is always good, or any that you feel work
Pre-Chorus:
Em C G D
Pages turning, pages we were years from learning
Em C G D
Straight into the night our hearts were flung
Chorus:
C G D C G D
Better bring your own redemption when you come
C G D C
To the barricades of heaven where I'm from
C G D C G D
Better bring your own redemption when you come
C G D C
To the barricades of heaven where I'm from
