The Stone Roses was an alternative rock band that formed in Manchester, England in 1984. For most of their career, the band consisted of Ian Brown (vocals), John Squire (guitar), Gary "Mani" Mounfield (bass) and Alan "Reni" Wren (drums). Meshing 60s-styled guitar-driven rock with understated 80s dance beats and other influences, the band largely defined the British alternative scene of the late 80s and early 90s. After their eponymous 1989 debut album became an international sensation

Mersey Paradise
Intro: GCDCD (C's and D's arpeggio'D)
G River splashes against the rocks CDCD And I scale the slope I hope the tracks won't G Lead me down to dark black pits or CDCD Places where we fall to bits
G If she were there I'd hold her down CDCD I'll push her under while she drowns and G Couldn't breathe and call for air CDCD She doesn't care for my despair
GC Or is it me? Am I the one that's wrong? D (one that's wrong) You see it in the sea GC river cool's where I belong (no chord) G In my Mersey paradise
G As I stare an oil wheel comes CDCD Sailing by and I feel like G Growing pins and falling in CDCD With the bricks, the bikes, the rusty tin I G Swim along without a care CDCD I'll eating sand when I need air you can G Bet your life I'll meet a Pike who'll CDCD Wolf me down for tea tonight
G I want to be (I want to be) CD where the drownings are (drownings are)
You see it in the sea GC river cool's where I belong (no chord) G In my Mersey paradise
repeat chorus
(no chord) Oh yeah
repeat chorus
