tabbed by Rosa -- this isn't supposed to be perfect, just a way to play the song.

G:  either 320033 or xxx033
G7: either 320031 or xxx031   I like to play these second versions for the quieter parts like the first verse,
Am: either x02210 or xxx210   and full chords for the rest of the song. The whole thing might also sound nicer
C:  either x32010 or xxx010   with bar chords, try it out!

    G
The papers write about it back in England
     G7
It's practically a lifestyle in Berlin
        Am
There's probably some pockets in Ohio
       C
Almost always something happening in Ohio

Bm Bm/D G G x2       (Bm/D: either x5443x or xx0432 or just play a D)

I heard some bad reports about Long Island
        G7

We do it different on the west coast

I heard they had a problem with some skinheads
At a show in a machine shop in Pomona
I feel like half my friends have moved to San Francisco
I think I'm gonna bleach my hair this weekend

You can't shut people up once they get back from their Christmas out there

Skim though such magazines as I can get my hands on
Glue circuit boards to plywood on the weekend
Trellis modulation for the children
There's a whole new world just up around the corner
