Additional Information
Song meaning as told by Jon: "It's about coming home after being away for a long time, and also about the times when we've got no money and we're lying in our bunks in a crazy, shitty room thinking, 'I'll be home again at some stage'. It's coming from my girlfriend's perspective in the way that I'm saying I can appreciate how fucked it is being away from me, and me being away from her. And I'm just saying, 'no matter how far away we are from each other, I still fucking love you, and I'll see you sooner or later'". Rip It Up, Oct. 1996
Lyrics
Put your clock back for the winter She asks when I'll be home again If I could see those eyes I know they'd cut me down a size You're not here, when I need you So sit and wait And bend and break You rise and fall Just you that's all I'm here, you're there It don't mean I don't care I'm so sorry I was miles away It's been a day of tiny triumphs It's been a week spent in dispair You can't send it down a phone line I do my best, but I'm not there So sleep and wake And dream up your fate And rise and fall Watch you grow tall I'm here, you're there But you should still know I love you When I'm miles away I'll be home again I'll be home again Coming home again Coming home again

Guitar Intro
RIFF 1:
G|-----------|
D|-----------| Riffs 1 & 2 are played for practicly
A|-----------| the whole song over and over 4 times each
E|--3-0-0-0--| (Riff 1 x 4,Riff 2 x 4,etc.).You're best
off listening to the CD for timing.Also,
RIFF 2: I think Karl slaps the first note of these
G|------------| two riffs (3 or 12) and then pulls/pops the
D|------------| open string three times, but it sounds ok by
A|------------| just pulling.
E|--12-0-0-0--|
BRIDGE RIFF:
Part 1:
G|---------------------|
D|---------------------|
A|---------------------|
E|--3-3-33-3-33333333--|
Part 2:
G|----------------------------------------------|
D|----------------------------------------------| same timing
A|----------------------------------------------| as part 1
E|--12--12--12-12--12--12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12--|
The bridge is played as Part 1 and Part 2 together after each other.
That's It (at least I think that's it).You should be able to get it
after a couple of times.It's not that hard when you listen to it.
I think when they play live, Karl mixes it up by adding another
riff with the other 2. I think it is...
E|--5-0-0-0--|
