2000 Miles
The Pretenders
(1983)
(This whole song should be played on a Rickenbacker 12-string or per
“The Isle of View” on an acoustic 12-string! — LM)
The intro lick, that also continues through most of the song,
goes like this:
e|---------2-3-|-0-------2-3-|
b|-3-----------|---3---------|
G|---0---------|-----2-------|
D|-----0-------|-------------|
A|-------------|-------------|
E|-------------|-------------|
Try this instead — let the bass notes ring. Note that the timing is
triplets:
t t t t t t t t t t t t
e|--------2-3-0-------2-3-|
4 b|3-------------3---------|
- G|--0-------------0-------|
4 D|----0-------------------|
A|------------3-----0-----|
E|3-----3-----------------|
Then right before the first verse:
e|-------------|
b|-3p1-0-------|
G|-------2-0---|
D|-----------4-|
A|-------------|
E|-------------|
VERSE 1
He’s gone
[C(add9)] [Dsus2/A]
Two thousand miles
[C(add9)] [Dsus2/A]
Is very far
The snow was falling down
It’s colder day by day
I miss you
[C(add9)] C(add9)1
The children were singing
C(add9) D G C(add9) Dsus2/A etc.
He’ll be back at Christmas time
VERSE 2
In these frozen silent nights
Sometimes in a dream
You appear
Outside under the purple sky
Diamonds in the snow
Sparkle
Our hearts were singing
It felt like Christmas time

VERSE 3
He’s gone
Two thousand miles
