INTRO : 

A    F

VERSE 1 :

Bbm                         Ab
There's a graveyard by the station where the girls
Gb
Wear vinyl skirts and sandals from Hungary
Bbm                         Ab
The boys ride their Riga 1s upon the little hills
Gb
And selfish and greed, the kids die standing
Bbm                                Ab
That's where we made our tryst and struggled with our guns
Gb
Would you still love me if the clocks could go backwards?
Bbm                                      Ab
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 :
Gb          Ab          Bbm
Ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya
Gb          Ab
Ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya,
On A string :
8--------10--------------11----------10-----
How does the grass grow? Blood, blood, blood
Gb          Ab          Bbm
Ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya
Gb          Ab
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 :

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

CHORUS 2 :

Ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya
Gb          Ab

On A string :
8--------10--------------11----------10-----
How does the grass grow? Blood, blood, blood
Gb          Ab          Bbm
Ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya
Gb          Ab
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


BRIDGE :

E            G           D                  E
I gaze in defeat at the stars in the night
                G        D
The light in my life burnt away
           Ab      G
There will be no tomorrow,
     Gb          F
Then you sigh in your sleep
    A         Ab             D
And meaning returns with the day

On A string : 5-4-3-2-
