Verse:
Running down around the town s along the shore
I was sixteen and on my own
Though I couldn t tell you what the hell those breaks were for
I was just trying to hear my song
Jimmy found his own sweet sound, when he won that free guitar
We d all get in the van and play
Life became the paradox, the bear, the rouge et noir
And a stretch of road running to L.A
Pre-Chorus:
Pages turning, pages we were years from learning
Straight into the night our hearts were flung
Chorus:
Better bring your own redemption when you come
To the barricades of heaven where I m from
Verse:
All the world was shining from those hills
The stars above and the lights below
Among those there to test their fortunes and their wills
I lost track of the score long ago
Pre-Chorus:
Pages turning, pages we were years from learning
Straight into the night our hearts were flung
Chorus:
Better bring your own redemption when you come
To the barricades of heaven where I m from
Bridge:
Childhood comes for me at night
Voices of my friends
Your face bathing me in light
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:
Pages turning, pages we were years from learning
Straight into the night our hearts were flung
Chorus:
Better bring your own redemption when you come
To the barricades of heaven where I m from
Better bring your own redemption when you come
To the barricades of heaven where I m from
END
