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