Intro:
, , (x4)
verse 1
(Stop)
Your love was only a whisper away, scratch my hands and say
There's a better land
Well I know your daddy he's not rich, and your mother's a drunkard but you're
(stop)
The one i worship and adore
Chorus
But all is whole when they're layin me down,
You know it smells like Bangkok in Chinatown,
Did you get your pound of flesh today?
Verse 2 (same as verse 1)
I've forgot all that I had, still livin about your pad,
It's a mean unleasant land
Sometimes you come in deep inside, sometimes it doesn't touch the sides,
Like a sausage up an alleyway
(Repeat chorus)
Bridge:
How innocent is the day, when you smiled and then you lay on your side
Below outdoor sun?... It's another plan... It's another land
(Repeat verse one, last 8 bars is solo - make up your own using pentatonic scale)
(repeat chorus x2)
End on C, slide down neck then hit C5
