Try to catch the groove! [Verse]
Am  C    F    C
Goddamn' Europeans!

Am       C       F        C
Take me back to beautiful England

Am      C         F     C      Am   C  F        C
& the grey, damp filthiness of ages & battered books &

C    F       C               F
fog rolling down behind the mountains,

C        F          C            F
on the graveyards, and dead sea-captains.
[Chorus]
Am      C      F                 C
Let me walk through the stinking alleys

Am      C         F      C
to the music of drunken beatings,

Am         C     F       C         Am   C
past the Thames River, glistening like gold

F                G
hastily sold for nothing. Nothing.

Here goes little solo, played over the main riff:

Strum the chords in the last verse:
G             F                  Am
Let me watch night fall on the river,

G                     F         Am
the moon rise up and turn to silver,

G               F         Am
the sky move, the ocean shimmer,

G                     F
the hedge shake, the last living rose

Am            C F C
quiver.
Am C F C
