Something Better Chords

Something Better - Marianne Faithfull
 
[Intro]
 
D D/C# D/B D/A G D Em A
 
 
[Verse]
 
 D
 He walks along
 
 D/C#
 singing his fairy song,
 
 D/B
 picking up magic that
 
 D
 grows at his feet.
 
 D
 She says her same
 
 D/C#
 her peculiar way,
 
 D/B
 dreaming good fortune on
 
 D          G
 everyone's street.
 
 
[Chorus]
 
 C
 Say, hey,
 
 F
 have you heard
 
      C             F
 blue whiskey's the rage ?
 
      Am         C          F   C
 I'll send you a jug in the mor-ning.
 
 D       G       D         G
 It is absurd to live in a cage,
 
     Em                  F#m          A
 you know there's got to be something better.
 
 
[Verse]
 
 D
 As they go by,
 
 D/C#
 don't look with eagle's eyes,
 
 D/B
 smile on your jailors
 
 D
 until they grow weak.
 
 D
 Nothing can compare
 
 D/C#
 to something that's almost there
 
 D/B
 to tear up the madness
 
 D              G
 that all of us seek.
 
 
[Chorus]
 
 C
 Say, hey,
 
 F
 have you heard
 
      C             F
 blue whiskey's the rage ?
 
      Am         C          F   C
 I'll send you a jug in the mor-ning.
 
 D       G       D         G
 It is absurd to live in a cage,
 
     Em                  F#m          A
 you know there's got to be something better.
