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.]
