COUNTRY HOUSE
by BLUR
from THE GREAT ESCAPE




G+
(So the story begins)

 A                       E
City dweller, successful fella

 Bm
Thought to himself


Oops I've got alot of money

  D             (DbBass)       C#
I'm caught in a rat race terminally

 A
I'm a prefessional cynic

  E
But my hearts not in it

    Bm
I'm paying the price of living life at the legal limit

   D             (DbBass)      C#
Caught up in the centuries anxiety

   E
It preys on him, he's getting thin



       A
Now he lives in a house, a very big house in the country

          D
Watching afternoon repeats

                                  A
And the food that he eats in the country


He takes all manner of pills

                                  E (Eb)
And piles up analyst bills in the country

            D
It's like an animal farm,

                             A    Ab
Lots of rural charm in the country



             A              E
Now he's got morning glory, life's a different story

      Bm
Everything going jackanory

D                 (DbBass)   C# 
In touch with his own mortality

             A        E
He's reading balzac, knocking back prozac,

          Bm
It's a helping hand


That makes you feel wonderfully bland

 D                (DbBass)  C#        E
Oh, it's the centuries remedy for the faint at heart,


A new start



   A                                          E (Eb)
He lives in a house, a very big house in the country

         D
He's got a fog in his chest

                                A
Se he needs alot of rest in the country


He doesn't drink smoke laugh

                              E (Eb)
He takes herbal baths in the country

                   D
Oh it's like an animal farm

                                        A
But you'll come to no harm in the country

A            E              D             A
Blow blow me out I am so sad I don't know why
