Beck - Bottle Of Blues

[Intro]
C D C

D C
Da da da da da da da da

[Verse]
C
I just found me a bottle of blues
G
Some strange comfort for a soul to soothe
D
Ain’t it hard ain’t it hard
C
To want somebody who doesn’t want you
C
And I’ve been waiting for a year a day
G
Some strange weather must be blowin’ my way
D
Cause I got no mind
C
To go or to stay or be left behind

[Chorus]
F E
Holdin’ hands with an impotent dream
F E
In a brothel of fake energy
F G#
Put a nickel in the graveyard machine
D G#
I get higher and lower
D G#
I get higher and lower
D
Like a tired soldier
D# D
With nothin’ to shoot
F D
And nowhere to lose
C
This bottle of blues

[Instrumental]
G D C

[Verse]
C
Egos drone and pose alone

Like black balloons all banged and blown
D
On a backwoods river
C
The infidels shiver in the stench of belief
C
I tell my momma I’m a hundred years late

I’m over the rails and out of the race
D
And the crippled psalms
C
Of an age that won’t thaw are ringing in my ears

[Chorus]
F E
Holdin’ hands with an impotent dream
F E
In a brothel of fake energy
F G#
Put a nickel in the graveyard machine
D G#
I get higher and lower
D G#
I get higher and lower
D
Like a tired soldier
D# D
With nothin’ to shoot
F D
And nowhere dreams
C
It’s a Bottle of blues

[Instrumental]

Holdin’ hands with an impotent dream

I get higher and lower

I get higher and lower

Like a tired soldier
D# D
With nothin’ to shoot

It’s a Bottle of blues

Bottle of blues
