Eisley - "Ten Cent Blues"
Capo third fret
G  Am  C
GDear orthodox,
AmI can't control my feelings,
CAnd who hit me?
AmI just might be
CComing round the bush
CAnd my stilts, Amthey began cracking
CSubsequently pushed
GAnd I looked to see that it was she
AmJust some abandoned little crook like me
CAdieu, adieu, Amand fare thee well
CThis was the ending, please
GOh, wAmhoa...
CI was attached Amon bended knee
CBut I declined my leave
GBut who could blame
AmA fraction of her being?
CShe is cheesy, Amshe is scrawny
CWith her uncanny styling
CI'm teasing, Amshe is pleasing
CShe just has no wit
GAnd I'm sorry I don't have her face
AmAnd I'm probably gonna lose this race
CThere is no doubt Amshe's such a mouse
CWith such an abstract grace
GOh, whAmoa...
CThere is no cure, AmI am sure
CFor these ten cent blues
GAnd then she chose to dissect me
AmAnd I was casted into poverty
CBut I did not Amagree with her
CShe said, "Now, you've got nerve"
CBut I don't cGare if I'm granted
AmFor all these things
CIf I were one Amamong this crowd
CWould you call that defeat?
GIn a way it's making me Emcrazy
GIn a sense that it's making me Cstronger
GA likely chance, and it's probably Emproven
GIn the end we'll Amall walk aCway
AmShaking hGands on the doormat
GI Amsalute you, sir
CA stranger and Ama happy fit
AmI'm glad IC'm part of it
CAnd that I Amsaw it AmallG

Eisley - "Ten Cent Blues"

Capo third fret

G Am C

Dear orthodox,

I can't control my feelings,

And who hit me?

I just might be

Coming round the bush

C Am

And my stilts, they began cracking

Subsequently pushed

And I looked to see that it was she

Just some abandoned little crook like me

C Am

Adieu, adieu, and fare thee well

This was the ending, please

G Am

Oh, whoa...

C Am

I was attached on bended knee

But I declined my leave

But who could blame

A fraction of her being?

C Am

She is cheesy, she is scrawny

With her uncanny styling

C Am

I'm teasing, she is pleasing

She just has no wit

And I'm sorry I don't have her face

And I'm probably gonna lose this race

C Am

There is no doubt she's such a mouse

With such an abstract grace

G Am

Oh, whoa...

C Am

There is no cure, I am sure

For these ten cent blues

And then she chose to dissect me

And I was casted into poverty

C Am

But I did not agree with her

She said, "Now, you've got nerve"

C G

But I don't care if I'm granted

For all these things

C Am

If I were one among this crowd

Would you call that defeat?

G Em

In a way it's making me crazy

G C

In a sense that it's making me stronger

G Em

A likely chance, and it's probably proven

G Am C

In the end we'll all walk away

Am G

Shaking hands on the doormat

G Am

I salute you, sir

C Am

A stranger and a happy fit

Am C

I'm glad I'm part of it

C Am Am G

And that I saw it all
