_ [Am] _ _ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ [Dm] _
I [N] saw some people starving.
There was murder, there was rape.
Their villages were burning.
They were trying to escape.
I [Gm] couldn't meet their glances.
I was staring at my [Dm] shoes.
It was [N] acid, it was tragic.
It was almost like the blues.
[Am] _ It [Gm] _ _ was [Dm] almost like the blues. _ _ _ _ _
I have to die a little between each murderous [A] thought.
And when I'm [F] finished thinking, I have to die a lot.
[Gm] There's torture, and there's killing, and there's all my bad [F] reviews.
The war, the children missing, Lord, it's [Dm] almost like the blues.
_ [Am] _ _ _ [Gm] _ It's almost [Dm] like the blues. _ _ _ _
So I let my heart get frozen to keep away the rot.
[D] My father says I'm chosen.
[Dm] My mother says I'm not.
[A] [Gm] I listened to their story of the gypsies and the [Dm] Jews.
It was good.
It wasn't [G] boring.
It was almost like the blues.
[Am] _ _ _ _ [Gm] It was [D] almost like the blues. _ _ _ _ _
[Ab] There is no God in heaven, and there is no hell below.
So says the great professor of [D] all there is to know.
[Gm] But I've had the invitation that a sinner can't [Dm] refuse,
and it's almost like salvation.
[D] It's almost like the blues.
_ [Am] _ _ It's [Gm] _ _
[Bb] almost [D] like the blues. _ _ _ _ _
_ [Am] _ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _
[Bb] Almost like [D] the blues. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Am] _ _ [Gm] Almost _ _ [Dm] like the blues. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
