Generic Blues
Weird Al Yankovic
Standard tuning EADGBe Pretty much a genius 12-bar blues parody with some variations in the chordal formula. When playing the run its an ascending note run rather than chords. Also link together and by playing in the same ascending note run way. [Intro] [Verse 1] I woke up this morning then I went back to bed Said I woke up this morning then I went right back to bed Got a funny kind of feelin’ like I got broken glass in my underwear And a herd of wild pigs is trying to chew off my head..........you know what I’m sayin’ [Verse 2] Well I ain’t got not money I’m just walkin’ down the road Said I ain’t got no money honey so I’m just walking down this lonely old road Well I wish I could get me some money but I forgot my automated teller code........... [Verse 3] I was born in a papersack in the bottom of a sewer I had to eat dirtclods for breakfast my family was so poor My daddy was a waitress my mom sold bathroom tiles my bros and sisters all hated me cuz I was an only child I got the blues so bad wooooo kinda wish I was dead..... Maybe I’ll blow my brains out mama or maybe I’ll yeah maybe I’ll just go bowling instead..... [Bridge] I’m just a no good scum sucking nose picking boot licking sniveling groveling worthless hunk of slime Nothing but a lowdown beer bellied boneheaded pigeontoed turkey necked weaselfaced worthless hunk of slime Guess I pretty low self image maybe it’s a chemical imbalance or something I should probably go and see a doctor about it when I’ve got the time.... [Guitar solo] .................Aw make it talk son make it talk .................Ok now make it shut up............. [Outro] Plagues and famine and pestilence always seem to get me down I always feel so miserable whenever I’m around I wish somebody would come along stick a pitchfork through my brain I’d flush myself right down the toilet but I’d just clog up the drain I got the blues so bad.....kinda wish I was dead maybe I’ll blow my brains out mama Or maybe I’ll go bowling..... Or I just might go bowling...... Maybe I’ll just rent some shoes and go bowling..... Maybe I’ll join league enter tournament put on stupid looking shirt and go bowling...instead!
