Im Writing A Novel Cifras

Capo 1
 
Only acoustic and vocals until the last line of Intro where all else comes in.
 
 
[Intro]
 
E
I ran down the road, pants down to my knees,
          E7
screaming please come help me, that Canadian shaman
       E7
gave a little too much to me
                  A
and I'm writing a novel,
                              E
'cause it's never been done before
 
 
[Verse 1]
 
E
First house that I saw, I wrote house up on the door,
             E7
and told the people who lived there they have to get out
          E7
'cause my reality is realer than yours
                             A
ya there's no time in the present,
                               E
and there's a black dog on the bed
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
  E
I went to the backyard, to burn my only clothes,
             E7
and then the dog ran out, he said you 
E7
can't turn nothing into nothing, this would be no more
             A                                E
Well, I'm no doctor, but that monkey might be right
          B7       C#m
and if he is,
                             E
I'll be walking him my whole life
 
 
[Verse 3]
 
  E
I rode to Malibu, on a dune buggy with Neil,
               E7
he said you're gonna have to drive me down on the beach
       E7
if you ever wanna write for real
                 A
and I said I'm sorry,
                              E
young man what was your name again?
 
 
[Verse 4]
 
     E
Now, everywhere I go in West Hollywood
     E7
it's filled with people pretending they don't see the actress
        E7
and the actress wishing that they could
               A
we could do ayahuasca,
                                    E
baby, if I wasn't holding all these drinks
 
 
[Verse 5]
 
E
Something 'bout the way Violet whips her hair
          E7
makes me empty my pockets on the corner to corner,
        E7
bumming twenties as if I was the mayor
                   A
I don't need any new friends,
                                    E
but I could really use something to do
                       B7         C#m
so if you're up for it sometime,
                                   E
I swear you wouldn't have to be my muse
 
 
[Outro]
 
E E E E
 
E
Heidegger and Sartre, drinking poppy tea
             E7
I could have sworn last night I passed out in my van
              E7
and now these guys are pouring one for me
                     A
I'll never leave the canyon
                             E
'cause I'm surrounded on all sides
                   B7        C#m
by people writing novels
                        E
and living on amusement rides
 
 
 
* When playing A in the verse you can throw in an A/F or A7 to make it sound a bit better.
