[G] [G] [D]
[C]
Da, da, da, da, da, [Bb] da, da, da, da, da, da, [D] da, da.
[C]
I just found me a bottle of blues,
Some strange comfort for a [G] soul to soothe,
[D] Ain't it hard, ain't it hard
To want somebody who doesn't want you?
And I've been waiting for a year or a day,
Some strange weather must be blowing [G] my way,
Cause [D] I got no mind
To go or to stay or be [Cm] left [C] behind
[F] Holding hands with an impotent [E] gene
[F] In a bottle of fake energy
[F] Put a nickel in a graveyard machine
[Ab] I get [D] higher and lower
[Ab]
[D] I get higher and lower
[Ab]
Like [D] a tired [Eb] soldier
With nothing to [D] shoot and [F] [D] nowhere to lose
In [C] a bottle of blues
[Am] [G] [D] [Am]
[C]
Ego's drowned and posed alone
Like black balloons all [A] banged and blown
On a [D] backwards river
Infidels shiver in the [C] stench of belief
Tell my mama I'm a hundred years late
I'm over the rails and out of [G] the race
The [D] crippled sounds of an age that won't stop [C] ringing in my ears
[F] Holding hands with an impotent [E] gene
[F] In a bottle of fake [E] energy
[F] Put a nickel in a graveyard [Ab] machine
I get [D] higher and lower
I [D] get higher and lower
[Ab]
Like a tired soldier
[Eb] With nothing [D] to shoot [F] and [D] nowhere to lose
In a [C] bottle of blues
[F] [Eb] [D]
[C]
Uh
[G] [Eb] huh
[C] Yeah
What?
Well I just found me a bottle of blues
Some strange comfort brought us all to [Eb] suit
[D] Ain't it hot, ain't it hot
To want somebody who [C] dies a wronged youth
[F] Holding hands with an impotent [Em] gene
[F] In a bottle of fake [Em] energy
[F] Put a nickel in a graveyard [Ab] machine
I get [D] higher and lower
[Ab]
I [D] get higher and lower
[Ab]
Like [D] a tired soldier
[Ebm] With nothing to shoot [F] and nowhere [D] to lose
In a [C] bottle of blues
Bottle of [G] blues
[Eb] [D]
Uh huh
[C]
Yeah
[Bb]
Da da [G] da da da
[D]
