The Vines are an Australian alternative rock band originally formed as Rishikesh in 1994 in Sydney. They play a musical hybrid of 1960s garage rock and 1990s alternative music. The line-up currently consists of vocalist and lead guitarist Craig Nicholls, the band's only constant member.
They appeared on the cover of Rolling Stone in October 2002 (the first Australian band to do so since Men at Work in 1983) with the words "Rock is Back: meet the Vines" boldly emblazoned underneath.

INTRO EG x4
AG It's 1969 in my head AC I just wanna have no place to go AG Livin thru the sound of the dead AC I'm gonna get stoned look round at my soul
INTRO x4 A I'm hearin voices in the trees C And seein footsteps in the rain GE I just wanna die before I loose my dough A I have been cryin in my sleep C Cause I dont know where i've been GE I just wanna live to see another day
ACGE Hey hey hey hey [x8]
AG When I get my buick six AC I'll see my life drop in that whirlpool AG If I get to see you again AC You're the only one I know
Mental bit - you're on your own. Mostly uses E and G chords getting faster and faster. Just fuck about and improvise.
Here we go There I stand I'm a seed Of a man Dare I go Dare I stare I'm a seed of a man
