Biography:
Morphine was formed in Cambridge, Massachusetts, United States in 1990 by Mark Sandman (vocals, bass) and Dana Colley (saxophone). Jerome Dupree became the group's drummer in 1991 prior to the release of their debut album, Good. "Low Rock" is Morphine's unique combination of jazz, blues and pop/rock, sung with darkly comic and ironic lyrics. Their guitarless sound relied on an unusual combination of baritone/tenor sax, percussion and a two string slide bass.

The Saddest Song
by Morphine
Good (1993)
Tuning: Standard
Bm A
On my first day back, first day back in town
Bm A
First day, my first day back in town
Bm A
The clouds up above, they were humming our song
Bm A
Humming, humming our song
Bm A
My biggest fear is if I let you go,
G F#
You'll come and get me in my sleep
Bm A
My biggest fear is if I let you go,
G F#
You'll come and get me in my sleep
Bm A Bm A
Come and get me.
Bm A
I set my course, sailed away from shore
Bm A
Steady, steady as she goes
Bm A
I crash in the night, two worlds collide
Bm A
But when two worlds collide no one survives no one survives and
Bm A
The reddest of reds, the bluest of blues
Bm A
The saddest of songs I'll sing for you.
Bm A
My biggest fear is if I let you go,
G F#
You'll come and get me in my sleep
Bm A
My biggest fear is if I let you go,
G F#
You'll come and get me in my sleep
(Bm and A until end)
Come and get me. Come and get me in my sleep.
These are the chords I recommend using, though you can do them any way you want:
Bm A G F#
E|-2- E|-0- E|-3- E|-2-|
B|-3- B|-2- B|-3- B|-2-|
G|-4- G|-2- G|-4- G|-3-|
D|-4- D|-2- D|-5- D|-4-|
A|-2- A|-0 A|-5- A|-4-|
E|-2- E|-0- E|-3- E|-2-|
if you want to more closely match the bass riff, you can add a quick F# after every
A in each verse. and that's it, hope you enjoy it.
