This one seems pretty easy. The riff that is played on the other 
guitar is very low down. The only way you're gonna get it is if you 
tune your low E all the way down to B. Or play a 7 string guitar - 
and you don't really want to be doing that. 
 
 
Intro: 
----- 
E G#m A A 
 
The intro is the same chords as most of the song, but it has a different 
strumming pattern. It's not too hard to figure out if you listen to 
it. 
 
 
E                       G#m 
   Got chucked out of a greek youth hostel 
A 
   Made it up in a flea pit motel 
Watched the violence slip away 
And I believe she is my mother as a young girl 
Two bluest eyes to penetrate my small world 
They're boring through me over my grandmothers grave 
      F#m 
I visited my mothers town 
          A 
I saw the places she hung around 
            E 
Watched her friends (old children) 
    G#m          A 
Not noticing the rain 
If she wasn't born here things couldn't have been the same

Riff: 
---- 
                   (down octave) 
D---------------------------------- 
A----------------------2--2/4------ 
E---0------2--2/4------------------

D---2------4--4/6------------------ 
A----------------------2--2/4------ 
E----------------------------------
 
 
 
(same as before) 
Found out some things that I shouldn't have but I oughtta 
Keep it quiet now it's tapping on my shoulder 
And summer's on the wane 
In a house devoid of any central heating 
My preconceptions hey they sure did take a beating 
This was just around the month of May 
And sure it's good to be alone 
But it's high time she came home 
Still my fathers hands are gonna have to stay 
Though she always wants it every other way 
When I'm limited to being who I am 
If I'm invisible I hope she understands 
 
 
Other Bit: 
--------- 
G#m                         A 
    'cause time it blurs so many things 
B                       A 
    I just hope she's on my side 
G#m                   A 
    We could relearn everything 
B 
    Like how to glue it together 
    Watch the wheels collide 
 
 
End on A.
