Barstool Blues
by Neil Young
Intro:
E (x4)
B F#m7 E
I could hold on to just one thought for long enough to know
B F#m7 E
Why my mind is moving so fast and the conversation is slow
A E
Burn off all the fog and let the sun through to the snow
B A E
Let me see your face again before I have to go.
I have seen you in the movies and in those magazines at night
I saw you on the barstool when you held that glass so tight
And I saw you in my nightmares, but I’ll see you in my dreams
And I might live a thousand years before I know what that means
Instrumental:
B – F#m7 E –
Once there was a friend of mine who died a thousand deaths
His life was filled with parasites and countless idle threats
He trusted in a woman and on her he made his bets
Once there was a friend of mine who died a thousand deaths
Instrumental:
A – – E B – A E (x8)
