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

 you’re almost human, after all

 and you’re learning that just ‘cause they call themselves friends

 doesn’t mean they’ll call...

they made the comment in jest

but you’ve got the needle

i guess that’s 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 you’re aces for coming along

 you’re almost human, after all

 why on earth would i keep you propped up in here

 when you so love the

fall...?

the pattern’s laid out on the bed

with dozens of colors of thread

but you’ve got the needle

i guess that’s the point in the end

Intro

 but it’s 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

i’m 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 you’re aces for playing along

 you’re almost human, even now

 and just ‘cause they call themselves experts

 it doesn’t mean sweet fuck all...

they’ve got the permanent press

 and the homes with a stable address

(always sounds awesome spoken without any background music)

and they’ve got excitement

and life by the fistful

but you’ve got the needle

i guess that’s 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! \--/
