Morrissey – I Knew I Was Next (Guitar)

|F               |F             |C            |C           |    
So what do you think I am and how precisely could you tell

|F               |F             |Dm           |Dm           |      
A decent skin is all I am

|Dm      |Bb     |A       |A
People think badly of me

| Dm    C    |Bb     Am      |C         |C         |
But one day maybe they’ll praise. Oh but meanwhile

|F               |F             |C            |C           |    
I knew I was next and I didn’t mind

|E              |E              |Am               |C                 |
Here I offer you my life for any debts are due

|F               |F             |C            |C           |    
And when you’ve been down for the very last time

|E              |E              |Am               |C                 |
There is nothing anyone can do to hurt you

|F               |F             |C            |C           |    
The shadows of trees, they reach me

|F               |F             |Dm           |Dm           |      
They know a decent skin is all I am

|Dm      |Bb     |A       |A
People think badly of me

| Dm    C    |Bb     Am      |C         |C         |
But when I’m in my grave maybe they’ll praise. Oh but meanwhile

|F               |F             |C            |C           |    
I knew I was next and I didn’t mind

|E              |E              |Am               |C                 |
Here I offer you my life for any debts are due

|F               |F             |C            |C           |    
And when you’ve been down for the very last time

|E              |E              |Am               |C                 |
There is nothing anyone can do to hurt you

| Dm    C    |Bb     Am      |C         |C         |
                                                         oh but meanwhile

|F               |F             |C            |C           |    
I knew I was next and I didn't mind

|E              |E              |Am               |C                 |
oh when you've been slapped around then one more slap can't hurt you

|F               |F             |C            |C           |    
and when you've been down for the very last time

|E              |E              |Am               |C                 |
there is nothing anyone can do to hurt you

|F               |F             |C            |C           |    
I knew I was next and I didn't mind

|E              |E              |Am               |C                 |
oh when you've been slapped around then one more slap can't hurt you

|F               |F             |C            |C           |    
and when you've been down for the very last time

|E              |E              |Am               |C                 |
there is nothing anyone can say to hurt you
