Robyn Hitchcock – The Abandoned Brain (Guitar)

C                        Am
I'm sitting here in the abandoned brain 

F                    Dm
Waiting for take-off in it 

     C                    Am 
They say it's never gonna work again 

    F                 Dm
But I can spare a few minutes 

     C                   Am 
Been here before in the abandoned brain 

        F                     Dm
There's flowers on all the controls 

    G                      Am        F
The tape keeps telling me again and again 

     Dm                 F 
That I am the keeper of souls 

    C                       Am 
The wind blows hard on the abandoned brain 

            F                  Dm
But there's nobody thinking at all 

    C               Am 
The hypothalamus is open to the rain 

        F                     Bb
And the leaves sweep into the hall

        G                   Am
There's no one else in the abandoned brain 

    F                      Dm
But that's not necessarily bad 

   G                        Am    F
It feeds on itself but it's not insane 

     Dm                    F 
This brain’s too old to go mad 

C                   Am 
Roses bloom in the abandoned brain 

    F                        Dm
And thoughts run wild on the floor 

       C                    Am 
Like a headless corpse, a derailed train 

          F                Bb
Who could ask for anything more? 

    G                    Am
I'm sitting here in the abandoned brain 

F                    Dm
Waiting for take-off in it 

     G                       Am    F
They say it's never going to work again 

    Dm                F         C
But I can spare a few minutes
