D C
Da da da da da da da da
[Verse]
C
I just found me a bottle of blues
G
Some strange comfort for a soul to soothe
D
Ain't it hard ain't it hard
C
To want somebody who doesn't want you
C
And I've been waiting for a year a day
G
Some strange weather must be blowin' my way
D
Cause I got no mind
C
To go or to stay or be left behind
[Chorus]
F E
Holdin' hands with an impotent dream
F E
In a brothel of fake energy
F G#
Put a nickel in the graveyard machine
D G#
I get higher and lower
D G#
I get higher and lower
D
Like a tired soldier
D# D
With nothin' to shoot
F D
And nowhere to lose
C
This bottle of blues
[Instrumental]
G D C
[Verse]
C
Egos drone and pose alone
Like black balloons all banged and blown
D
On a backwoods river
C
The infidels shiver in the stench of belief
C
I tell my momma I'm a hundred years late
I'm over the rails and out of the race
D
And the crippled psalms
C
Of an age that won't thaw are ringing in my ears
[Chorus]
F E
Holdin' hands with an impotent dream
F E
In a brothel of fake energy
F G#
Put a nickel in the graveyard machine
D G#
I get higher and lower
D G#
I get higher and lower
D
Like a tired soldier
D# D
With nothin' to shoot
F D
And nowhere dreams
C
It's a Bottle of blues

I just found me a bottle of blues
Some strange comfort for a soul to soothe
Ain't it hard
Ain't it hard,
To want somebody who doesn't want you
And I've been waiting for a year, a day
Some strange weather must be blowin' my way
Cause I got no mind to go or to stay,
Or be left behind
Holdin' hands with an impotent dream
In a brothel of fake energy
Put a nickel in the graveyard machine
I get higher and lower
I get higher and lower
Like a tired soldier
With nothin' to shoot
And nowhere to lose
This bottle of blues
Egos drone
And pose alone
Like black balloons
All banged and blown
On a backwoods river
The infidels shiver
In the stench of belief
I tell my momma I'm a hundred years late
I'm over the rails
And out of the race
And the crippled psalms
Of an age that won't thaw
Are ringing in my ears
Holdin' hands with an impotent dream
In a brothel of fake energy

I just found me a bottle of blues

Ain't it hard, ain't it hard,
