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