Tuning: E A D G B E

[*The Intro riff or what I am going refer to as the [Refrain] riff reoccurs throughout the song.* *Note that he adds the riff an extra time in the final verse.] I know a few ways to play it: 1) on the low E and A strings A|-2-0------2-0-----| E|-----3-2------3-2-| 2) I prefer to play it using power chords- or you could use any other chords you can think of The riff just goes B- A- G- F# X2 e|-------------------| B|-------------------| G|-4-2------4-2------| D|-4-2-3-2--4-2-3-2--| A|-2-0-3-2--2-0-3-2--| E|-----5-4------5-4--| 3) Or you can get away with just strumming the Em chord Terry Jacks- Concrete Sea (1972) [Intro or Refrain] [Verse 1]

^EmI heard some music being ^Cplayed today ^DI heard a song but the ^Emwords were wrong ^EmIt didn't matter to me ^Canyway ^DSome people really don't care what they say
