VERSE 1 :
BbmAb
There's a graveyard by the station where the girls
Gb
Wear vinyl skirts and sandals from Hungary
BbmAb
The boys ride their Riga 1s upon the little hills
Gb
And selfish and greed, the kids die standing
BbmAb
That's where we made our tryst and struggled with our guns
Gb
Would you still love me if the clocks could go backwards?
BbmAb
The girls would fill with blood, and the grass will be green again
Gb
Remember the dead, they were so great, some of them
CHORUS 1 :

GbAb
Ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya,
On A string :
8--------10--------------11----------10-----
How does the grass grow? Blood, blood, blood
GbAbBbm
Ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya
GbAb
Ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya,
On A string :
8--------10------------11--------10-----
Where do the boys lie? Mud, mud, mud
8--------10--------------11----------10-----
How does the grass grow? Blood, blood, blood

VERSE 2 :
BbmAb
Well I lived a blind life, a white face, a prison
Gb
That you made, a life out of nothing, now I ride by
BbmAbGb
Black roads. I miss you more than you'll never, ever know
Waiting with my red eyes and my stone heart
CHORUS 2 :

Where do the boys lie? Mud, mud, mud
8--------10--------------11----------10-----
How does the grass grow? Blood, blood, blood
BRIDGE :
EGDE
I gaze in defeat at the stars in the night
GD
The light in my life burnt away
AbG
There will be no tomorrow,
GbF
Then you sigh in your sleep
AAbD
And meaning returns with the day
On A string : 5-4-3-2-
