COUNTRY HOUSE
by BLUR
from THE GREAT ESCAPE
G+
(So the story begins)
B F#
City dweller, successful fella
C#m
Thought to himself
Oops I've got alot of money
E (EbBass) Db
I'm caught in a rat race terminally
B
I'm a prefessional cynic
F#
But my hearts not in it
C#m
I'm paying the price of living life at the legal limit
E (EbBass) Db
Caught up in the centuries anxiety
F#
It preys on him, he's getting thin
B
Now he lives in a house, a very big house in the country
E
Watching afternoon repeats
B
And the food that he eats in the country
He takes all manner of pills
F# (Eb)
And piles up analyst bills in the country
E
It's like an animal farm,
B A#
Lots of rural charm in the country
B F#
Now he's got morning glory, life's a different story
C#m
Everything going jackanory
E (EbBass) Db
In touch with his own mortality
B F#
He's reading balzac, knocking back prozac,
C#m
It's a helping hand
That makes you feel wonderfully bland
E (EbBass) Db F#
Oh, it's the centuries remedy for the faint at heart,
B new start
B F# (Eb)
He lives in a house, a very big house in the country
E
He's got a fog in his chest
B
Se he needs alot of rest in the country
He doesn't drink smoke laugh
F# (Eb)
He takes herbal baths in the country
E
Oh it's like an animal farm
B
But you'll come to no harm in the country
B F# E B
Blow blow me out I am so sad I don't know why
