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

[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
