Rolling Stones
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.]
