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
im a dud – fire cracker i aint got any fuse
i aint got no inspiration since i lost my muse
im a table with two legs , im a spider with five
im 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 dont 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
im a flattened out wave i aint got any curl
im an empty old oyster i aint 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 dont know what to do .
Am G7 Am E7
sit up late , stay up wait . its a rule of thumb shes got to come
sit up late , stay up wait . its a rule of thumb shes 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 dont know what to do .
