Cure for Pain
Morphine
Not a '60s tune, but I like it anyway! In fact, the whole disk is excellent.
The noir-ish 'Thursday' is a hoot; the Coen Brothers should make it into a
movie.
[Intro]
  D    Bm    Ax4
[Verse 1]
DWhere      Bm   Ais the rituDal,Bm  A  
And tell me whDere      Bm     Awhere is the taDste?Bm  A  
DWhere     Bm     Ais the sacDrifice,Bm  A  
And wheDre        Bm     Awhere is tDhe faith?Bm  A  
[Chorus]
     C     B5N.C.                        D    Bm  A  
Someday   There?ll be a Cure for Pain,
D  Bm  A
            C     B5N.C.                   D    Bm  A  
That's the day,  I throw my drugs away  (Sax enters)
[Solo] (x2)
D  Bm  A
C  Bm
[Verse 2]
DWhere     Bm    Ais the caDve where the wise women weBmnt,A  
And tell me whDere, wBmhere?s all that mAoney that I spDent?Bm  A  
DI propose a toBmast,A  
DTo my self-conBmtrolA,
DYou see it crawling helBmpless oAn the flDoor,Bm  A  
[Chorus]
     C     B5N.C.                        D    Bm  A  
Someday   There?ll be a Cure for Pain,
D  Bm  A
            C     B5N.C.                   D    Bm  A  
That's the day,  I throw my drugs away  (Sax enters)
[Outro]
(Sax solo and lyrics 'Find a cure, find a cure for pain' over verse chords
(4x) or until the pain is gone. End on D chord.)
Note: This was a strange one to write out, not because there is no guitar in
the song itself, but because of Mark Sandman's ingenious use of pauses,
spaces and held notes. If anyone has any suggestions to clean it up...?

Where is the sacrifice,

D Bm A D Bm A

And where where is the faith?

[Chorus]

Someday There?ll be a Cure for Pain,

Where is the cave where the wise women went,

To my self-control,

D Bm A D Bm A

You see it crawling helpless on the floor,

[Chorus]

Someday There?ll be a Cure for Pain,

That's the day, I throw my drugs away (Sax enters)
