Capo 1
intro:
 Dm   Bb   F   G(2x)
verse:
Bb F A Dm
Bb F A A7
chorus:
D A Gm Bm
G D A Am G A
( Dm   Bb   F  G)
I'm all alone this is a holiday
some bloody holiday
my friends have gone away
( Dm   Bb   F  G)
they're of the temp-or-ary sort I think
I will be better without
as long as you let me out
( Bb   F   A  Dm)
to taste the air beside the river
I pick the soundtrack with immaculate care
( Bb   F   A  A7)
such a lot rests upon it
my life upon a song
you don't know how much I need
musician, please take heed
( Dm   Bb   F  G)
I thought I might just write a letter
anything to stay away
from books and lessons today
( Dm   Bb   F  G)
besides, it's part of my induction
into the literate world
I am a literate girl
( Bb   F   A  Dm)
I string the words together softly
I lay my love upon you with each line
( Bb   F   A  A7)
a gift of improvising
removes me from revising
I made a daisy chain from
phrase, verse, and punctuation
( D   A   Gm  Bm)
ill kick this mood off with a change of scene
I bought a leotard I'm going to the gym
( G   D   A   Am   G  A)
I couldn't get away with wearing it all summer
but I've lost a lot of weight 
I think it's down to leaving meat
out of my diet as a rule
I won't buy it 'cause it's cruel
( Dm   Bb   F  G)
and if the nighttime threatens me with pain
I will give into lust
I will do what I must
( Dm   Bb   F  G)
I've got a number of a girl I know
who gets hallucinogens from a pair of hooligans
( Bb   F   A  Dm)
ill take a dose I don't mind trying
she lets me stay there while I leave the ground
( Bb   F   A  A7)
Old episodes of Miser
I snuggle up beside her
think that I'll stay 'till morning
she's got me started yawning
