This a song I wrote in 2009. The chord progressions are incredibly simple to play, but the lyrical structure is complex, so I went through the whole song to show you as best I could how the chords fall in with the words. Each line of the verses has a bass-line that climbs up to the first chord of the line. So for the

first two lines of every verse the bass line is

g a b c

and on the last two lines it is

C D E F

. Enjoy.

Well theres been ^Csomething thats been ^Gbugging me for ^Csome time It is a ^Ctrouble from which ^GI can never ^Chide Its all them ^Fgreedy men in ^Ctailored suits who ^Gdominate the ^Cworld And build the ^Flaboratory ^Gmazes for man^Ckind

This house of ^Ccards will surely ^Gtopple over ^Csomeday Just as Im ^Csure all of the ^Gfat cats are ^Caware So keep so^Fciety se^Cdated let them ^Gatrophy their ^Cminds And in the ^Fend there will be ^Gno one left to ^Ccare

So go on ^Chome, walk swiftly through the ^Gbright-lit patches The ^Fnight closes faster than your ^Ceyes can ^Gcatch it The ^Clies will be revealed in the ^Gend like a magic ^Fshow Ill say I ^Ctold you ^Gso Well ^CI dont know, but ^GIve been told Youre ^Fborn to die and not ^Gto grow ^Cold

And maybe ^Clater I will ^Gstart a revo^Clution You know Ill ^Cgive them every^Gthing that I have ^Cgot And then I ^Fknow you all will ^Cthank me but Im not ^Gsure I have the ^Ctime Im too damned ^Fbusy smoking ^Gbooze and drinking ^Cpot

How can I ^Csatisfy my ^Gmessianic ^Ccomplex? How can I ^Csave you from the ^Gevils I cant ^Cname? Im not really ^Fanybody ^Cspecial but I ^Gwish so much I ^Cwas This world is ^Frigged but Im still ^Gdying to play the ^Cgame

Well the race is ^Con, push forward through the ^Gswarming masses ^FForward to the furnace where well ^Cturn to ^Gashes And ^Cspread across the land to make the ^Gflowers and the grasses ^Fgrow I think, no, no, no I^C hope its ^Gso Well ^CI dont know, but ^GIve been told Youre ^Fborn to die and not ^Gto grow ^Cold

And in the ^Cmorning she will ^Grise and say she ^Cloves me The fact that ^Cshe aint real dont ^Gmatter to me ^Cmuch I might be ^Fsorry come to^Cmorrow but to^Gnight Im just a ^Cman And goddamn! She ^Flooks like shed be ^Gheavenly to ^Ctouch

And in the ^Cevening as the ^Glight is slowly ^Cfading And as the ^Chawks make lazy ^Gcircles in the ^Csky And as the ^Ffireflies start ^Cdancing and the ^Gforests come a^Clive Ill say now ^Fwhat a pretty ^Gplace for me to ^Cdie

bass line: F E D
If ^Ctime is just a fiction, and ^Flife is but a ^Gdream Then ^Cpay no heed to scriptures as they ^Fflash across your ^Gscreen Were ^Call as lost as pebbles that are ^Fcast into a ^Gstream And ^Cyou cant trust your eyeballs because ^Fnothings w^Ghat it s^Ceems
