• Song:

    Blank Generation

  • Artist:

    Richard Hell

I was sayin' let me out of here
Em    D             C      B

Before I was even born
            Em    D

It's such a gamble when you get a face
            C               B

It's fascinatin' to observe what the mirror does
Em        D           C              B

But when I die it's to the wall that I set my face
    Em     D               C           B

Chorus: I belong to the blank generation, and
      Em  D           C     B

I can take it or leave it each time, well
Em    D          C             B

I belong to the ----- generation
Em  D                 C   B

I can take it or leave it each time
Em    B7         Em            Em

Oooo oooo oooo oooo(same notes as chords)
Em   D    C    B


Triangles falling at the window as the doctor cursed
Em        D              C             B

He was a cartoon, long forsaken by the public eye
Em       D                C            B

The nurse adjusted her garters as I breathed my first
Em          D          C            B

The doctor grabbed my throat and said, "God's consolation prize!"
Em         D                     C                 B


CHORUS

Oooo oooo oooo oooo(same notes as chords)
Em   D    C    B

(repeat)

To hold the TV to my lips, the air so packed with cash
Em          D        C                B

Then carry it up flights of stairs and drop it in your vacant--lot
Em                D                    C                       B

Then lose my train of thought and fall into your arms' tracks
Em           D                    C                    B

And hold beneath my eyelids every passing thought
Em         D                C     B

CHORUS

CHORUS (quietly)

Oooo oooo oooo oooo
Em   D    C    B

Oooo oooo oooo oooo
Em   D    C    B

Waah oooooooo
B7   Em (pick strings)
