J Tillman - James Blues
Capo IV
 
[Intro/Bridge]
Am  G  C
C  E  Am  G  C
 
[Verse 1]
Am      G           C
James incurred the wrath
C      E      Am
of a jealous woman
Am       G     C
Not long after that
C        E       Am
spending all his weekends
     G      C
Trying to relearn         
      G          Am      E      F
How a young man yearns after a nurse
G          C
Poor poor James
 
[Verse 2]
Am          G       C
Most nights he has dreams
C         E        Am
all his teeth are missing
Am       G     C
Wakes up in a sweat
C       E       Am
His impotent heart racing
            G       C
He throws back the sheets
    G      Am      E         F
Begins to weep without much feeling
 G          C
Poor poor James

[Verse 3]
Am      G        C
Desire is what makes
 C        E      Am
Upright mammals human
Am      G      C
Put me out to graze
C          E       Am
Give this beast a burden
             G    C
Because the universe
       G          Am      E      F
Makes much more sense without a purpose
 G          C
Poor poor James

This is great. It sounds good when you play G7 instead of G like this though: 323030
