Bend about 1/4 - 1/2 the notes with (^) and add some vibratto, it sounds better.



E                 B
I'm floating in a black balloon
C#m        (Eb) E
O.D. on Easter afternoon
Abm   F#         E         B
My mama told me "Baby stay clean
          C#m       (Eb) E
There's no in-between"
Abm                  F#     B
And all you ladies and you gentlemen
C#m                  (Eb) E
Between is all you've ever seen or been
Abm   F#           E
Fit poorly and arrange the sight
B              C#m       (Eb) E
Doll it up in virgin white


Abm    F#      E       C#m                     Eb
You disappoint me, you people raking in on the world
E     F#    Fm      E       B      C#m      Abm      G
The devil's script sells you the heart of a blackbird
E            B                C#m           E
Shine on me baby, 'cause it's raining in my heart

Abm            F#   B
Sun's rising on a chopping glare
C#m              (Eb)  E
Rain dropping acid bought up in the air
Abm   F#     E        B     C#m       E
A distorted reality's now a necessity ... to be free

Abm    F#     E
It's so disappointing
C#m                         Eb
First I put it all down to luck
E   F#     Fm  E  B       C#m        Abm
God knows why my country don't give a fuck

Fuck
