"If You Could Save Yourself (You'd Save Us All)" by Ween
From the album "Quebec"
Pretty song...
INTRO (Play this chord progression once): ---
VERSE I: (I'm not entirely sure about the E7, but it sounds acceptable enough while
the song...any corrections are definitely welcome.)
On a free ride home from the embassy
I saw the governor, and his lover, holding hands
When I got to my place, I emptied my suitcase
And opened the windows wide
CHORUS: (No chord until "save")
If you could save yourself, you'd save us all
Is that what you called me for, is that why you're knocking on my door
The time I've spent, working myself to death
Thought that's what you wanted, I thought you needed my help
To make it good again, to makes us strong
To make you happy, to push you along
And gain some respect, to be thrown a crumb
I was on my knees when you knocked me down
VERSE II:
The wheels fell off, the bottom dropped out
The checks all bounced, I came in your mouth
Your mother came calling but there was no one around
The trash caught fire when the leaves turned brown
The vultures were circling when the circus left town
I left you a note but I wrote it in disappearing ink...
CHORUS:
If you could save yourself, you'd save us all
Is that what you called me for, is that why you're knocking on my door
The time I've spent, working myself to death
Thought that's what you wanted, I thought you needed my help
To make it good again, to makes us strong
To make you happy, to push you along
And gain some respect, to be thrown a crumb
I was on my knees when you knocked me down
~Outgoing chord progression (during keyboard solo):
--Bb( is held for awhile, listen to the song)-
~or~
F-A7-Bb (again, held awhile), then play this descending progression, strumming each
once: Bb, Am, Gm, F (Although I think this sounds a bit corny...up to you.)
