by BLUR

from THE GREAT ESCAPE

 

 

 

 

G+

(So the story begins)

 

A E

City dweller, successful fella

 

Bm

Thought to himself

 

 

Oops I've got alot of money

 

D (DbBass) C#

I'm caught in a rat race terminally

 

A

I'm a prefessional cynic

 

E

But my hearts not in it

 

Bm

I'm paying the price of living life at the legal limit

 

D (DbBass) C#

Caught up in the centuries anxiety

 

E

It preys on him, he's getting thin

 

 

 

A

Now he lives in a house, a very big house in the country

 

D

Watching afternoon repeats

 

A

And the food that he eats in the country

 

 

He takes all manner of pills

 

E(7) (Eb)

And piles up analyst bills in the country

 

D

It's like an animal farm,

 

A G#

Lots of rural charm in the country

 

 

 

A E

Now he's got morning glory, life's a different story

 

Bm

Everything going jackanory

 

D (DbBass) C#

In touch with his own mortality

 

A E

He's reading balzac, knocking back prozac,

 

Bm

It's a helping hand

 

 

That makes you feel wonderfully bland

 

D (DbBass) C# E

Oh, it's the centuries remedy for the faint at heart,

 

 

A new start

 

 

 

A E(7) (Eb)

He lives in a house, a very big house in the country

 

D

He's got a fog in his chest

 

A

Se he needs alot of rest in the country

 

 

He doesn't drink smoke laugh

 

E(7) (Eb)

He takes herbal baths in the country

 

D

Oh it's like an animal farm

 

A

But you'll come to no harm in the country

 

A E D A

Blow blow me out I am so sad I don't know why
