ALL THE MADMEN from The Man Who Sold The World
INTRO: See tab at end...
E5 E7sus4 E
Day after day they send my friends away
E7sus4 E F
To mansions cold and grey to the far side of town
Dm Em F E5
Where the thin men stalk the streets while the sane stay underground
E7sus4 E E7sus4 E
Day after day they tell me I can go they tell me I can blow
F Dm Em
To the far side of town where it's pointless to be high
F E
For it's such a long way down, so I tell them that
Dm Em
I can fly I will scream I will break my arm
Dm E
I will do me harm
Dm Em
Here I stand foot in hand talking to my wall
Dm E
I'm not quite right at all am I?
F G
Don't set me free I'm as heavy as can be
F E
Just my librium and me and my EST makes three
CHORUS 1:
A E
'Cause I'd rather stay here with all the madmen
F#m A C#
Than perish with the sad men roaming free
A E
And I'd rather play here with all the madmen
F#m A Bm E
For I'm quite content they're all as sane as me
SOLO: A F#m Bm G
SPOKEN: Where can the horizon lie when a nation hides its organic minds
In a cellar dark and grim they must be very dim
E E7sus4 E
Day after day they take some brain away
E7sus4 E F
Then turn my face around to the far side of town
Dm Em F E
And tell me that it's real then ask me how I feel
SOLO 2: E F Dm E
F
Here I stand foot in hand talking to my wall
Dm E
I'm not quite right at all
F G
Don't set me free I'm as helpless as can be
F E
My libido's split on me gimme some good ole lobotomy
CHORUS 2
A F#m
Zane zane zane ouvre le chien
Bm G
Zane zane zane ouvre le chien
A F#m
Zane zane zane ouvre le chien
Bm G
Zane zane zane ouvre le chien
Repeat until fade...
