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

Little Musical Interlude:

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


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
       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
