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