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