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