Chords
Pretty much a genius 12-bar blues parody with some variations in the chordal formula.
When playing the C# D D# E run its an ascending note run rather than chords.
Also link together A and D by playing A B C C# D in the same ascending note run way.
[Intro]
A D A D F E A C# D D# E
[Verse 1]
A D A I woke up this morning, then I went back to bed D A Said I woke up this morning, then I went right back to bed F E Got a funny kind of feelin' like I got broken glass in my underwear A C# D D# E And a herd of wild pigs is trying to chew off my head..........you know what I'm sayin'
[Verse 2]
A D A Well I ain't got not money, I'm just walkin' down the road D A Said I ain't got no money honey, so I'm just walking down this lonely old road F E A C# D D# E Well I wish I could get me some money, but I forgot my automated teller code...........
[Verse 3]
A D A I was born in a papersack in the bottom of a sewer, I had to eat dirtclods for breakfast my family was so poor D A My daddy was a waitress, my mom sold bathroom tiles, my bros and sisters all hated me cuz I was an only child D F A I got the blues so bad, wooooo, kinda wish I was dead..... F E A C# D D# E Maybe I'll blow my brains out mama, or maybe I'll, yeah maybe I'll just go bowling instead.....
[Bridge]
D A I'm just a no good, scum sucking, nose picking, boot licking, sniveling, groveling, worthless hunk of slime D A Nothing but a lowdown beer bellied, boneheaded, pigeontoed, turkey necked, weaselfaced worthless hunk of slime F E Guess I pretty low self image, maybe it's a chemical imbalance or something, A C# D D# E I should probably go and see a doctor about it when I've got the time....
[Guitar solo]
A D A D .................Aw, make it talk, son, make it talk D A F E A C# D D# E .................Ok, now make it shut up.............
[Outro]
A D A Plagues and famine and pestilence always seem to get me down, I always feel so miserable whenever I'm around D I wish somebody would come along, stick a pitchfork through my brain A I'd flush myself right down the toilet, but I'd just clog up the drain D F A F E I got the blues so bad.....kinda wish I was dead, maybe I'll blow my brains out mama, E Or maybe I'll go bowling..... E Or I just might go bowling...... E Maybe I'll just rent some shoes and go bowling..... A C# D D# E A Maybe I'll join a league, enter a tournament, put on a stupid looking shirt and go bowling...instead!
