2000 LIGHT YEARS FROM HOME [A start]
(Jagger/Richards)
The «breaks» in this tune are, in my opinion, the coolest part of
the song. I only wish I knew what they were; too much for me,
especially stuck with a mere acoustic! Please, somebody, HELP!
Fm
Sun turning `round with graceful motion
We`re setting off with soft explosion
Bbm
Bound for a star with fiery oceans
Ab
It`s so very lonely
Bb C Fm
You`re a hundred light years from home
Freezing red deserts turn to dark
Energy here in every part
It`s so very lonely
you`re six hundred light years from home
[Break: Instrumental for first two verse lines, then «it`s so
very lonely, you`re a thousand light years from home. Then the
two-bars worth of music that normally ends the stanza; then
repeating «it`s so very lonely, you`re a thousand light years
from home.» Back to Intro-type music.]
Bell flight fourteen you can now land
See you on Alpha (?) Boran
Safe on the green desert sand
It`s so very lonely
you`re two thousand light years from home
[Some music pretty much like the break, but mutating into other
stuff to a beautifully messy end.]
