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