[B] [Bm]
[A] [A] Can't remember anything at [G] all
[Bm] Flame trees line the street
[A]
Can't [D] remember anything at all
[G]
I was [Bm] driving my car [Bm] down to Geneva
[E] I've been sitting [A] in my basement [E] patio
[Bm] It was hot
Up above the girls walked past
There were roses all [Bm] in bloom
Hey, have you ever [A] heard
About the Higgs boson blues?
[G]
[Bm] I'm going down to Geneva, baby
Teach it to you
[A]
Who cares?
[G]
Who cares what the [Bm] future brings?
[Em]
Black [E] road long
And I drove and drove
[Bm] I came upon a crossroad
And the night was hot and black
[E] I see Robert Johnson
With a ten dollar guitar
[Bm] Strapped to his back
Looking for a tune
[A] Here comes Lucifer
[G] With his cannon law
And a [Bm] hundred black babies
Running from his genocidal jaw
[A] He got the real killer [G] groove
Robert Johnson and the devil man
[Bm]
I don't know who's gonna
Rip out the [Em] roof
[E]
Driving my car
Flame trees on fire
Sitting and singing
The Higgs boson blues
[E]
I'm tired
And I'm looking for a spot to [Bm] drive
All the clocks have stopped in Memphis
In [A]
the rain motel
[G] It's hot, it's hot
[Bm] That's why they call it [Bm] the hot spot
I take a room [A] with a view
Hear a man [G] preaching
In a language that's completely [Bm]
new
[E]
Making the hot cats
In the flop house bleed
While [Bm] the cleaning ladies
Sub into their mops
And the failed hops and bops
A [Em]
[E] shot rings out
It's a spiritual groove
[Bm] Everybody bleeding
The Higgs boson blues
[A]
And if I [G] died tonight
Bury me in my [Bm] favorite
Yellow patent leather shoe
[A]
With a mummified cat
And [G]
a cone like hat
Let [Bm] the catafate
Forced on the Jew
[Em]
Can you feel my [E] heartbeat?
[Em] Can you feel [Bm] my heartbeat?
[Em]
[E] Hannah Montana
Does the [B] African [Bm] Savannah
As the simulated [Bm] rainy season begins
[E]
She curses the Q at the Zulus
And [Bm] moves on to Amazonia
And cries with the dolphins
[A]
The mama eat the pig [G] man
The pig meet the monkey
[Bm] The monkey has a gift
That he is sending back to you
[A]
Here come the [G] missionary
With a small [Bm] flaxen flute
[A]
Saving [G] them savages
With his Higgs boson [Bm]
blues
[E]
I'm [E] driving my car
Down to [Bm] Geneva
