Start Jamming...
[G] Happy by the rain
So [Dm] I chose the last compartment
Of [G] a stationary train
Felt [B] someone getting [Bb] behind me
But [Ebm] I never caught [Bb] their eye
But [B] I thought I heard [Bb] a woman's voice [Ebm] Whispering
[Bb] [B] Goodbye
[Bb] [Gb]
[Eb] So [Dm] I lay down in the dumps
With [G] a beer and coffee stage
And [Dm] I stared out at the thunder
Through [G] the broken window panes
And [B] although the storm [Bb] was looming
[Ebm] Like an engine in the [Bb] sky
[B] I'm sure I heard [Bb] a woman's voice [Ebm] cry
[Bb] Don't wanna [C] be
Under [Dm] your thumb
[C] forever
[Dm] Don't wanna [C] be
Under [Dm] your thumb
[C] forever
[Dm] Don't wanna [C] be
Under [F] your thumb
[C] It's over, [F] I'm done, I'll never [C] be
Under [F] your thumb
[Bb] forever
[Eb]
So [Dm] I wrote myself a sin
I [G] smoked it on my own
But [Dm] it pissed off my speech
For [G] the smell of her cologne
And then [B] she was about [Bb] nowhere
Laughing when [Ebm] her hair was full [Bb] of steam
[Ebm] And she stuck her head [Bb] out the window [Ebm] And [Bb] screamed
[Ebm] And screamed
[Gb]
[Bb] She screamed
[Gm] Don't wanna [C] be
Under [F] your thumb
[C] forever
[Dm] Don't wanna [C] be
Under [Dm] your thumb
[C] forever
[Dm] Don't wanna [C] be
Under [F] your thumb
[C] It's over, [F] I'm done, I'll never [C] be
Under [F] your thumb [Eb] forever
[Db] [Gb]
[E] So [Db] I wrote my own music
[E] To read
And [Ab] I noticed something very strange In the
So [Dm] I wrote
And [G] it chilled me to the bone
Woman [Dm] throws herself on a speeding [Em] train
[G] An identity unknown
But [B] I recognize [Bb] the picture
Of [Ebm] the woman who was [Bb] dead
[B] An unnamed [Bb] picture [Ebm] It said
[Bb] Don't wanna [C] be
Under [F] your thumb
[C] forever
[F] Don't wanna [C] be
Under [Dm] your thumb forever
[Am] [F] Don't wanna [C] be
Under [F] your [C] thumb
It's over, [F] I'm done, I'll never [C] be
Under [F] your thumb
[Eb] forever
[D] [N]
