[intro]
Am                                  D7                          Am
I went down to library you know the big one way down town
             D7                                 E7                        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                                      Am Am/G Am/F# Am/G
These these these are the words that I did put down
 
[verse]
        Am          Am/G     Am/F#         Am/G
I’m a dud-fire cracker I ain’t got any fuse
        Am          Am/G     Am/F#         Am/G
I ain’t got no inspiration since I lost my muse
        Am          Am/G     Am/F#         Am/G
I’m a table with two legs, I’m a spider with five
        Am          Am/G     Am/F#  Am/G   D7
I’m going down slow muse when will you arrive
        Am          Am/G                 Am/F#         Am/G
Oh muse where are you?
    D7
Oh muse where are you?
Am Am/G Am/F# Am/G
You know I eat, drink and I smoke stuff
E7                       Am Am/G Am/F# Am/G
I don’t know what to do.
 
Am Am/G Am/F# Am/G
I went to the mountain and the desert too
Am Am/G Am/F# Am/G
I was there lady so where were you
Am Am/G Am/F# Am/G
I’m a flattened out wave I ain’t got any curl
Am Am/G Am/F# Am/G
I’m an empty old oyster I ain’t got any pearl
D7        Am Am/G Am/F# Am/G
Muse where are you?
D7
Oh muse where are you?
Am Am/G Am/F# Am/G
You know I eat, drink and I smoke stuff
E7                    Am Am/G Am/F# Am/G
I don’t know what to do.
Am              Am                      Am                      Am
Sit up late, stay up wait. It’s a rule of thumb she’s got to come
Am              Am                      Am                      Am
Sit up late, stay up wait. It’s a rule of thumb she’s got to come
 
Am Am/G Am/F# Am/G
 
Am Am/G Am/F# Am/G
I take lots of cold showers and I go for long walks
Am/G Am/F# Am/G
I wait for a pitch but the fickle bitch barks
Am Am/G Am/F# Am/G
Took a shot of whisky and a snort of cocaine
Am Am/G Am/F# Am/G                        D7
Opened up my head and stuck electrodes in my brain
D7                   Am Am/G Am/F# Am/G
Oh muse where are you where are you? 
D7            Am Am/G Am/F# Am/G
Muse where are you?
 
C                D7
You know I eat, drink and I smoke stuff
C                D7
I eat, drink and I smoke stuff
C                D7  E7
I eat, drink and I smoke stuff
N.C
I don’t know what to do.
Am Am/G Am/F# Am/F E Am
