COUNTRY HOUSE
by BLUR
from THE GREAT ESCAPE
G+
(So the story begins)
G D
City dweller, successful fella
Am
Thought to himself
Oops I've got alot of money
C (CbBass) Db
I'm caught in a rat race terminally
G
I'm a prefessional cynic
D
But my hearts not in it
Am
I'm paying the price of living life at the legal limit
C (CbBass) 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 Gb
Lots of rural charm in the country
G D
Now he's got morning glory, life's a different story
Am
Everything going jackanory
C (CbBass) Db
In touch with his own mortality
G D
He's reading balzac, knocking back prozac,
Am
It's a helping hand
That makes you feel wonderfully bland
C (CbBass) 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
