"If You Could Save Yourself (You'd Save Us All)" by Ween
From the album "Quebec"


Pretty song...

INTRO (Play this chord progression once): F-A7-D-Bb

VERSE I: (I'm not entirely sure about the E7, but it sounds acceptable enough while 
the song...any corrections are definitely welcome.)

D (xx0232@1)                          E7On (020130@1)a free ride home from the embassy
          A7 (x02020@1)              E7 (020130@1)   A7 (x02020@1)    DI (xx0232@1)saw the governor, and his lover, holding hands
D (xx0232@1)                       E7When (020130@1)I got to my place, I emptied my suitcase
    A7 (x02020@1)       E7 (020130@1)name="chord_x02020@1">A7   DAnd (xx0232@1)opened the windows wide


CHORUS: (No chord until "save")
             F (133211@1)                          A7If (x02020@1)you could save yourself, you'd save us all
                 D (xx0232@1)                               BbIs (x1333x@1)that what you called me for, is that why you're knocking on my door
    F (133211@1)                                A7The (x02020@1)time I've spent, working myself to death
                        D (xx0232@1)                   BbThought (x1333x@1)that's what you wanted, I thought you needed my help
           F (133211@1)                     A7To (x02020@1)make it good again, to makes us strong
            Bb (x1333x@1)               FTo (133211@1)make you happy, to push you along
                                      A7And (x02020@1)gain some respect, to be thrown a crumb
            Bb (x1333x@1)                      FI (133211@1)was on my knees when you knocked me down

VERSE II:

DThe (xx0232@1)wheels fell off, the bottom dropped out
    E7The (020130@1)checks all bounced, I came in your mouth
     A7 (x02020@1)                    E7 (020130@1)      A7 (x02020@1)   DYour (xx0232@1)mother came calling but there was no one around
DThe (xx0232@1)trash caught fire when the leaves turned brown
    E7The (020130@1)vultures were circling when the circus left town
  A7 (x02020@1)                  E7 (020130@1)        A7 (x02020@1)         DI (xx0232@1)left you a note but I wrote it in disappearing ink...

CHORUS:

            F (133211@1)                          A7If (x02020@1)you could save yourself, you'd save us all
                 D (xx0232@1)                               BbIs (x1333x@1)that what you called me for, is that why you're knocking on my door
    F (133211@1)                                A7The (x02020@1)time I've spent, working myself to death
                        D (xx0232@1)                   BbThought (x1333x@1)that's what you wanted, I thought you needed my help
           F (133211@1)                     A7To (x02020@1)make it good again, to makes us strong
            Bb (x1333x@1)               FTo (133211@1)make you happy, to push you along
                                      A7And (x02020@1)gain some respect, to be thrown a crumb
            Bb (x1333x@1)                      FI (133211@1)was on my knees when you knocked me down

~Outgoing chord progression (during keyboard solo):
F-A7-Bb(Bb is held for awhile, listen to the song)-F
~or~
F-A7-Bb (again, held awhile), then play this descending progression, strumming each 
once: Bb, Am, Gm, F (Although I think this sounds a bit corny...up to you.)
