Loudon Wainwright III - Muse Blues lyrics
E7 A7 D7
I went down to library you know the big one way down town
E7 A7 Am
I went down to the library you know the big one way down town
E7 E7
I pulled out my spiral notebook and my scripto pencil
D7 - - 2/2 Am G Am E7
These these these are the words that I did put down
Am G Am E7
I’m a dud-fire cracker I ain’t got any fuse
I ain’t got no inspiration since I lost my muse
I’m a table with two legs, I’m a spider with five
I’m going down slow muse when will you arrive
4/4 A7 D7
Oh muse where are you?
E Am
Oh muse where are you?
2/2 Am G Am E7
You know I eat, drink and I smoke stuff
E - Am G Am E7
I don’t know what to do.
Am G Am E
I went to the mountain and the desert too
I was there lady so where were you
I’m a flattened out wave I ain’t got any curl
I’m an empty old oyster I ain’t got any pearl
4/4 A7 D7
Muse where are you?
E Am
Oh muse where are you?
2/2 Am G Am E7
You know I eat, drink and I smoke stuff
E - Am G Am E7
I don’t know what to do.
Am G7 Am E7
Sit up late, stay up wait. It’s a rule of thumb she’s got to come
Sit up late, stay up wait. It’s a rule of thumb she’s got to come
Am G Am E7
I take lots of cold showers and I go for long walks
I wait for a pitch but the fickle bitch barks
Took a shot of whisky and a snort of cocaine
4/4 Am A7 D7
Opened up my head and stuck electrodes in my brain
D7 A7
Oh muse where are you where are you?
E Am
Muse where are you?
You know I eat, drink and I smoke stuff
I eat, drink and I smoke stuff
I eat, drink and I smoke stuff
I don’t know what to do.
