    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

  •  
    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
  •

    C G D C G D
    Better bring your own redemption when you come
