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