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 love is a million miles away.
A	      B			   C
    It's too far for the eye to see.
Bm		E	    A		     F#m
    Still it's me at least,   and you can't come there.
A           B             C
    No one is allowed at all.
Bm	  E		           A         F#m
    Only animals that love, will   always, only ever could be.
A               B                        E
    And  it's always in the back of my mind.

A               B                  E
    The place I love is overgrown now,
A                  B                 E
    with beautiful moss and colorful flowers.
Bm               E             A	   F#m
    And goldfish that swim in a pool,   theres a small brick wall
A                B                    E
    With neon lightings controlled by lightning.
Bm                E
    I'm makin' a stand against the world
A                             F#m
    There's those that would hurt us if they heard.
A             B                        E
    And it's always in the back of my mind.

A                B                   E
    The place I love is nowhere near here.
A                B                   E
    Not within a yard of the trendy do's
Bm                    E           A         F#m
    Where dogsbodies pick you up,    and graciously give you a lift
A                    B                 E
    with cherished thoughts and bitterness.
Bm                 E
    I'm makin' a stand against the world
A                             F#m
    There's those that would hurt us if they heard.
A             B                        E
    And it's always in the back of my mind.
