"If You Could Save Yourself (You'd Save Us All)" by Ween
From the album "Quebec"
Pretty song...
INTRO (Play this chord progression once): F-A7-D-Bb
VERSE I: (I'm not entirely sure about the E7, but it sounds acceptable enough while
the song...any corrections are definitely welcome.)
DOn a free ride home from the E7embassy
I saw the A7governor, and his E7lover, A7holding Dhands
DWhen I got to my place, I E7emptied my suitcase
And A7opened the E7winA7dows Dwide
CHORUS: (No chord until "save")
If you could Fsave yourself, you'd save us A7all
Is that what you Dcalled me for, is that why you're Bbknocking on my door
The Ftime I've spent, working myself to A7death
Thought that's what you Dwanted, I thought you Bbneeded my help
To make it Fgood again, to makes us A7strong
To make you Bbhappy, to push you Falong
And gain some respect, to be thrown a A7crumb
I was on my Bbknees when you knocked me Fdown
VERSE II:
DThe wheels fell off, the bottom dropped out
The E7checks all bounced, I came in your mouth
Your A7mother came calling but E7there was A7no one Daround
DThe trash caught fire when the leaves turned brown
The E7vultures were circling when the circus left town
I A7left you a note but I E7wrote it in A7disappearing Dink...
CHORUS:
If you couldF save yourself, you'd save usA7 all
Is that what you Dcalled me for, is that why you're Bbknocking on my door
The Ftime I've spent, working myself to A7death
Thought that's what you Dwanted, I thought you Bbneeded my help
To make it Fgood again, to makes us A7strong
To make you Bbhappy, to push you Falong
And gain some respect, to be thrown a A7crumb
I was on my Bbknees when you knocked me Fdown
~Outgoing chord progression (during keyboard solo):
F-A7-Bb(Bb is held for awhile, listen to the song)-F
~or~
F-A7-Bb (again, held awhile), then play this descending progression, strumming each
once: Bb, Am, Gm, F (Although I think this sounds a bit corny...up to you.)
