Mildenhall

C
At fifteen we had to leave the 
States again
Dad was stationed at an RAF base 
they called Mildenhall
     F

                            C
Black moss on a busted wall
C
The cobblestones made it hard to 
skate
C
I thought my flattop was so new wave
            F                      
Until it melted away in the Suffolk
      C
 rain
               G7                  
Well god damn, you miss the USA
              C


F                                 
   Then a kid in class passed me a
                    C
 tape
F                                 
   An invitation, not the hand of 
               C    G7
fate

C
I guess my shoes said I might relate
Somehow she knew I'd like to stay up
 waiting with her in the cold
         F

                                 C
For cheap beer and rock 'n' roll
               G7                  
Which in time put lots of things in
                      C
 my mind

F                                 
   A kid in class passed me a tape
            C

F                              
   We saw some bands down at the 
Corn Exchange
   C        G7


C
I wonder where my sister was that 
night

Back at home under the tanning bed 
lights
          F
I can still see the glow
                               C
Strange rays from her window
         G7                        
Each night, as I was skating home
        C

C
Started messing with my dad's guitar
C
Taught me some chords just to start 
me off
F                                 
Whittling away on those rainy days
    C

                 G7              
And that's how we get to where we 
                           C
are now

F                                 
   A kid in class passed me a tape
            C

F                                 
   A band called The Jesus and the
                               C   
 Mary Chain
  G7

I started messing with my dad's 
guitar

He taught me some chords just to 
start me off
F                                 
Whittling away on all of those 
             C
rainy days
                 G7              
And that's how we get to where we 
                            C
are now
           G7                    
That's how we get to where we are 
                     F7
now
