| The Place I Love |
| Paul Weller of the Jam |
| >From "All Mod Cons" |
| This is the improved version: new words and chord fix courtesy |
| of Davide Musiani |
| The opening riff is kinda like: |
E -|--------------------- B -|--------------------- G -|--------------------- D -|--------------------- A -|--------7-5-7-5------ E -|---5-5----------7---- Repeated 8 times.
| Then it goes into an A B E progression. 1 bar A, 1 bar B, two bars E. |
| I play it kind of ska-like because I can't quite get the |
| chunk-a-chunka rhythm from the record. Play the progression twice |
| and then over the verses. |
| A | B | C | |
| The place I l | ove is a million m | iles away. |
| A | B | C | |
| It's too f | ar for the eye to see | . |
| Bm | E | A | F#m | |
| Still it's m | e at least, | and you can't c | ome there. |
| A | B | C | |
| No one i | s allowed at a | ll. |
| Bm | E | A | F#m | |
| Only a | nimals that love, will | always, on | ly ever could be. |
| A | B | E | |
| And it's al | ways in the back of my mi | nd. |
| (riff 4 times) |
| A | B | E | |
| The place I | love is overgrown n | ow, |
| A | B | E | |
| with beautiful | moss and colorful | flowers. |
| Bm | E | A | F#m | |
| And goldfish | that swim in a | pool, the | res a small brick wall |
| A | B | E | |
| With neon lig | htings controlled by | lightning. |
| Bm | E | |
| I'm makin' a s | tand against the world |
| A | F#m | |
| There's those that would h | urt us if they heard. |
| A | B | E | |
| And it's a | lways in the back of my m | ind. |

| A | B | E | |
| The place I l | ove is nowhere near | here. |
| A | B | E | |
| Not within a | yard of the trendy d | o's |
| Bm | E | A | F#m | |
| Where dogsbodies p | ick you up, | and gra | ciously give you a lift |
| A | B | E | |
| with cherished th | oughts and bittern | ess. |
| Bm | E | |
| I'm makin' a st | and against the world |
| A | F#m | |
| There's those that would h | urt us if they heard. |
| A | B | E | |
| And it's a | lways in the back of my m | ind. |
