This is an extremely simple version of this song. Bass notes can be added,
just play the chords, and find a finger picking pattern that works well for
you and that you think sounds good!
Enjoy!
Intro notes
x4
(Last time add an A that's right below that B)
** Every time it says 'Intro' in between verses, it means the above x4,
just like the beginning of the song, with the A added on the fourth time.
Intro chords
Oh what a noble distinguished collection
of fine little friends you have made
hitting the tables without you again,
"no we'll wait no we promise we'll wait"
well June makes these excellent sewing machines
out of common industrial waste
she spends a few months at a time on the couch
but she's safe she wears shades she wears shades
oh but no one can stare at the wall as good as you my baby doll
and you're aces for coming along
youre almost human, after all
and youre learning that just cause they call themselves friends
doesnt mean theyll call...
they made the comment in jest
but youve got the needle
i guess thats the point of it all
Intro
maybe a week in the tropics would help
to remind you how nice life can be
we propped you right up in a chair on a deck
with a beautiful view of the sea
but a couple weeks later we came back
and you and the chair were nowhere to be seen
you had magically moved to the closet
eyes fixed to the place where the dryer had been
oh, but no one can stare at the wall as good as you, my babydoll
and youre aces for coming along
youre almost human, after all
why on earth would i keep you propped up in here
when you so love the
fall...?
the patterns laid out on the bed
with dozens of colors of thread
but youve got the needle
i guess thats the point in the end
Intro
but its better to waste your day watching the scenery
change at a comatose rate
than to put yourself in it and turn into one of those
cigarette ads that you hate
but while you were sleeping some men came around
said they had some dimensions to take
im not sure what they were talking about
but they sure made a mess of your face
but still, no one can stare at the wall as good as you, my babydoll
and youre aces for playing along
youre almost human, even now
and just cause they call themselves experts
it doesnt mean sweet fuck all...
theyve got the permanent press
and the homes with a stable address
(always sounds awesome spoken without any background music)
and theyve got excitement
and life by the fistful
but youve got the needle
i guess thats the point of it all
Intro
The last time add an A that's an octave above that B)
Awesome song, Amanda Palmer is amazing. Long Live Punk Cabaret! \--/
