Never Take Your Place - transcribed by Tom Cooper

Intro:     E    F#m  E    F#m  E    F#m  E   
E    F#m  E    F#m  E    F#m  A    F#m

F#m
Last night I dreamed I saw you there and I dreamed your eyes are blue
                                                       E    F#m
And someone's hand upon your hair I dreamed I saw that too

 

    F#m   A         E       F#m    A                  C#m
And not a word that I could say or thing that I could do
      F#m  A        E       F#m    D              E
Would ever make you look my way or let me look on you

 

Bm             F#m                A                              E
Whip your dogs away from here    there's no more oil and there's no more beer
Bm             F#m                A                      E
Whip your dogs away from here    there's no more left to fear

D                          F#m
Push away boys             Push away boys
A                      D
It's time we left this place
    F#m             A            D     E         F#m
And all the gold in Africa could never take your place

E    F#m  E    F#m  E    F#m  E   
E    F#m  E    F#m  E    F#m  A    F#m

Some fool is hung around your neck and who around your waist
Or was all before we met and in some other place

Or was it just a ghost story lost in another time
Or someone I forgot to be who changed their dream for mine

Whip your dogs away from here    there's no more oil and there's no more beer
Whip your dogs away from here    there's no more left to fear

Push away boys             push away boys
It's time we left this place
And all the gold in Africa could never take your place

 

Last night I dreamed I saw you there and I dreamed your eyes are blue
And someone's hand upon your hair I dreamed I saw that too

Whip your dogs away from here    there's no more oil and there's no more beer
Whip your dogs away from here    there's no more left to fear

Push away boys             Push away boys
It's time we left this place
And all the gold in Africa could never take your place

Push away boys             Push away boys
It's time we left this place
And all the gold of Africa could never take your place
And all the gold of Africa could never take your place
