-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm So High by Hole
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The lyrics here are pulled from the intro to "Old Age" (which was later placed at the
beginning of "Credit in the Straight World" on 'Live Through This'), but it was performed
live as a full song several times and was usually improvised. The version I'm basing it
off of was performed at Toad's Club in New Haven, CT in October 1994. It was played as
part of the encore.
After the C chord, do a slide from G5 up to A5.
[Verse]
E C5 G5/A5
And I will awake
E C5 G5/A5
Your highness, I'm so high I cannot walk
E C5 G5/A5
And I will awake
E C5 G5/A5
You took our will, just chop your tongue
E C5 G5/A5
Replace your empathy
E C5 G5/A5
No fucking devil turns to me
E C5 G5/A5
My mother's love, my evil dress
E C5 G5/A5
Your hardened candy fatal caress
E C5 G5/A5
And I will awake
E C5 G5/A5
Your highness, I'm so high I cannot walk
E C5 G5/A5
And I will awake
E C5 G5/A5
You cripple, you take away my time
E C5 G5/A5
My peace, my empathy
E C5 G5/A5
No baby sleeps on atrophy
E C5 G5/A5
Your unborn love, and fetal dress
E C5 G5/A5
Hard, bitter candy, legless caress...
[Chorus]
E C5 G5/A5
And I'm so high I cannot walk
E C5 G5/A5
And I'm so high I cannot talk
E C5 A5
And I'm so high I cannot see
E C5 G5/A5
And I'm so high I cannot breathe
[Verse]
E C5 G5/A5
And I will awake
E C5 G5/A5
Your highness I am so high I cannot walk
E C5 G5/A5
And I will awake, yeah, yeah
E C5 G5/A5
You cripple, you took away my time
E C5 G5/A5
My peace, my dignity
E C5 G5/A5
No baby sleeps on your atrophy
E C5 G5/A5
Your unborn love, your little dick
E C5 G5/A5
Hey!
[Chorus]
E C5 G5/A5
And I'm so high
E C5 G5/A5
And I'm so high I cannot walk
E C5 G5/A5
And I'm so high
E C5 G5/A5
And I'm so high I cannot talk
E C5 G5/A5
And I'm so high
[Outro]
E C5 G5/A5
And I'm so high I cannot see
E C5 G5/A5
And I'm so high I cannot walk
E C5 G5/A5
And I'm so high I cannot see
E C5 G5/A5
And I'm so high I cannot talk
E C5 G5/A5
What is right in front of me?
