Hunstanton Pier Deaf Havana
Standard Tuning
These are the basic chords for the whole song.
I would recommend that you play around with different shapes and see what you think sounds best.
For example, I play:
[Dsus2] [G5] [Bm] [A] [Em] [C5]
e|-0-| e|-0-| e|-2-| e|-0-| e|-0-| e|-X-| B|-3-| B|-3-| B|-3-| B|-2-| B|-0-| B|-x-| G|-2-| G|-0-| G|-4-| G|-2-| G|-0-| G|-5-| D|-0-| D|-0-| D|-4-| D|-2-| D|-2-| D|-5-| A|-0-| A|-x-| A|-2-| A|-0-| A|-2-| A|-3-| E|-x-| E|-3-| E|-x-| E|-x-| E|-x-| E|-x-|
This gives it an acoustic style.
D, G, D, G
It was [D]2004 if I'm not mis[G]taken, when the poison hit my [Bm]lips
And I [A]haven't looked back [G]since
I had [D]friends back then and a PMA to [G]match,
we were young and out of [Bm]touch with the t[A]hings we'd grow up to hate so[G] much,
in tim[D]e.
D, G, D, G
Back when my [D]hair was long and Phil was still [G]alive
We spent our days trying to [Bm]speak, to the g[A]irls that left us [G]weak
But now I'm [D]ageing badly and my friends' been laid to [G]rest
And the ones who let us [Bm]in are pushing p[A]rams or raising[G] twins.
To [A]tell you the truth I'd be [Bm]lying if I said I didn't[G] hate the [D]city
I [A]need the pier and the [Bm]fresh sea air of the [G]town that made [A]me.
Bm, A (The timing for this bit is awkward so listen to the track carefully)
[G]In my [D]heart and in my [A]soul are all the [Bm]people [A]that I've known[G]
[G]And the p[D]laces Iā??[A]ve called home
[G]But in my [D]head and in my [A]mind they're all just [Bm]things I [A]left behind[G]
[G]Reminders [D]of the changing [A]times, and these ageing bones of mine.
D, G, D, G
[D]Lee and me were schooled in a tourist [G]town
With less culture than Jeremy [Bm]Kyle
But it [A]stole our hearts for a [G]while
And [D]most weekends I found nothing but regr[G]et
Between many a drunk g[Bm]irls' legs
And in [A]many a strangers' [G]bed.
To [A]tell you the truth I'd be [Bm]lying if I said I didn't[G] hate the [D]city
I [A]need the pier and the [Bm]fresh sea air of the [G]town that made [A]me
[Bm] Who [A]I am.
[G]In my [D]heart and in my [A]soul are all the [Bm]people [A]that I've known[G]
[G]And the p[D]laces I've[A] called home
[G]But in my [D]head and in my [A]mind they're all just [Bm]things I [A]left behind[G]
[G]Reminders [D]of the changing [A]times, and these ageing bones of mine.
Bm, G, Bm, G
[Bm]The oneā??s who havenā??t died or star[G]ted families
Are all just working [D]building sites or battling with [A]university fees
And a [Bm]girl I used to know made me [G]promise once
I wonder if she [Em]kept it,[D] [C]
G, D, A
or [Bm]if she [A]even rem[G]embers i[D]t. [A]
[G]In my [D]heart and in my [A]soul are all the [Bm]people [A]that I've known[G]
[G]And the p[D]laces I've[A] called home
[G]But in my [D]head and in my [A]mind they're all just [Bm]things I [A]left behind[G]
[G]Reminders [D]of the changing [A]times, and these ageing bones of mine.
G, D, A, Bm, A, G
G, D, A
