A Place Called Home - PJ Harvey
This song is awesome and so very easy to play.
Verse:
Am
One day, I know, We'll find a place of hope
F
Just hold on to me
Am
Just hold on to me
(Just continue this progression for the rest of the verse)
Walk tight, One line, You're wanted this time
There's no one to blame
Just hold on to me
Chorus:
C
And I'm right on line (Come one my love)
G
And the birds keep singing
Am
And I'm right on line and the bells keep ringing
C
And the battle is won
G
And the planes keep winging (Come on my love)
Am
And I'm right on line and the girl keeps singing
Verse progression:
I walk, I wade, Through full lands and lonely
I stumble
I stumble
With you, I wait, To be born again
With love comes the day
Just hold on to me
Chorus
Bridge thing (if that's what you'd call it)
C G D D
Now is, The time, To follow through, To read the signs
C G D
Now the, Message is sent, Let's bring it to its final end
Chorus
(Played at the same tempo as the chorus)
C G Am C G Am C G
One, Day, I, Know, There'll, Be, A, Place, Called, Home
That's it. Told you it was easy.
PJ Harvey rocks like no other!
Am
One day there'll beb a place called home

| I love this song. I think that it might be something about two people not being able to be together or "have a place called home" for whatever reason. And it's just about holding on until they can finally be together. And agreed, It's one of her best. | |

| The bells ringing and the girl singing (along with the fact that "the bride" is right on time, and him being right on line) makes me think of a wedding myself. | |

| always thought it was a song about funerals (bells ringing, girls singing), someone has died prematurely in life but "there's no-one to blame, just hold onto me" ( the memory of the deseased). It's just their time to die but they'll be reunited with the people they care for in the afterlife. | |

| i think this song is simply about not feeling that there is a place for you yet, knowing that there will be someday, but still searching. also, i think it has to do with a romantic other - one day they'll have the right relationship, even if it's not in sight now. i think it's about the search to belong, despite everything good going on "and i'm right on time, and the birds keep singing..." etc i think its also looking forwards in time and thinking how someday she may be domesticated and not just freelancing around living a wild youth or whatever. one day, she'll settle down and have a place where she really belongs. one day there'll be a place called home. | |
