Hawkwind - High Rise
---
Essentially the whole song is done on the following 8-bar progression:
[F][F][Cm][Cm,Dm][Eb][Eb,F][Gm][Dm]
where the chord change in the 4th and 6th bars is on the 4th beat of the bar.
Note I've only put in the chord at the start of each bar below.

Of [Cm]two dimensions [Cm]
[Eb]Neon totem pole [Eb]to the sky
Keeping [Gm]scores of people [Dm]stacked up so high
A[F]bove the ground [F]
But all they can [Cm]hear is the sound [Cm]
Of the [Eb]wind in the an[Eb]tennae
It's a [Gm]human zoo
A [Dm]suicide machine

[Dm]Swarming all the time
[F]Tear out the telephones
