Biography:
Natalie Anne Merchant (born October 26, 1963 in Jamestown, New York) is an American alternative rock singer-songwriter. After rising to fame at the helm of the popular folk-rock band 10,000 Maniacs, Natalie Merchant enjoyed even greater success as a solo artist during the mid-'90s. Her literate, socially conscious songs established her among the preeminent women in pop music, while her solo debut -- 1995's Tigerlily -- helped pave the way for a number of female performers in a pre-Lilith Fair market.

Natalie Merchant - The Living
Transcribed by: Tim Eggenberger
What a great great album - thanks for everything Natalie.
This is a very sad, beautiful, and easy to play song.
For the 'G' on the Intro, don't use the low 'E' string so as to leave
your index finger free for 1st fret fill.
For the 'D' chord, include the open 'A' string for flavor.
Tuning: Standard, Capo on #1

VERSE
[C]What's it like there [G]outside
With the [D]living, with the [C]living
[C]Here I've found a place [G]that I can hide
From the [D]living, from the [C]living
CHORUS
Cause I [G]don't care to [D]stay with the [C]living
VERSE
[C]Oh, the bottle has [G]been to me
[D]My closest friend, my [C]worst enemy
[C]Oh, fickle I [G]walked a fine line
[D]Squandered it all and [C]wasted my time
CHORUS
And I [G]don't stand a [D]chance among the [C]living
VERSE
[C]For the lovers I've [G]gambled and lost
[D]Count my mistakes what[C]ever the cost
[C]I'll go off, I'll [G]make myself scarce
[D]Oh, come tomorrow You [C]won't find me here
CHORUS
Because I [G]don't care to [D]stay with the [C]living
I don't [G]think I'll [D]remain with the [C]living
solo:
C G D C (crying)
C G D C (crying)
And I [G]don't care to [D]stay with the [C]living
No, I [G]don't care to [D]stay [C]
