Running down around the town's along the shore
I was sixteen and on my own
Though I couldn't tell you what the hell those breaks were for
I was just trying to hear my song
Jimmy found his own sweet sound, when he won that free guitar
We'd all get in the van and play
Life became the paradox, the bear, the rouge et noir
And a stretch of road running to L.A
Pages turning, pages we were years from learning
Straight into the night our hearts were flung
Better bring your own redemption when you come
To the barricades of heaven where I'm from
All the world was shining from those hills
The stars above and the lights below
Among those there to test their fortunes and their wills
I lost track of the score long ago
Pages turning, pages we were years from learning
Straight into the night our hearts were flung
Better bring your own redemption when you come
To the barricades of heaven where I'm from
Childhood comes for me at night
Voices of my friends
Your face bathing me in light
Hope that never ends
same chords as verse. good section for a bit of the ol' improvised solo. the key
Pages turning, pages we were years from learning
Straight into the night our hearts were flung
Better bring your own redemption when you come
To the barricades of heaven where I'm from
Better bring your own redemption when you come
To the barricades of heaven where I'm from
END
