J Tillman - James Blues

Capo IV

Am..G..C
C..E..Am..G..C


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

Most nights he has dreams
all his teeth are missing
Wakes up in a sweat
(Simperton?) heart racing
He throws back the sheets
Begins to eat without much feeling
Poor poor James

Desire is what makes
A (pragmamous?) human
Put me out to grace
Give this beast a burden
Because the universe
Makes much more sense without a purpose
Poor poor James


*Thanks to Raving Lunatic for the lyrics*

Simpleton* heart racing
He throws back the sheets
Begins to weep* without much feeling
Poor poor James

Desire is what makes
Upright mammals human.*
Put me out to graze.*
Give this beast a burden
Because the universe
Makes much more sense without a purpose
Poor poor James
