#HAIRSHIRT
#
#{This song repeats these 8 measures throughout the verses:
#G / / / G / / / A7 / / / A7 / / / C / / / C / / / G / / / G / / /}
#>
#> I am not the type of dog
#> That could keep you waiting
#> For no good reason
#> Run a carbon-black test on my jaw
#> And you will find it's all been said before
#>
G A7 C Am
> I can swing my megaphone and long arm the rest
Am
> It's easier and better
C C
> To just beat it from the chest
> Of desire G
>
> I could walk into this room
> And the waves of conversation are enough
> To knock you down in the undertow
> So alone so alone in my life
> Feed me banks of light
> And hang your hairshirt on the lowest rung
> It's a beautiful life
> And I can hang my hairshirt
> Away up high in the attic of the wrong dog's life chest
> Or bury it at sea
> All my life I've searched for this
>
> Here I am here I am in your life
> It's a beautiful life
> My life
> It's a beautiful life
> Your life
