Bad Wine and Lemon Cake
guitar chords lyrics
This song is actually by The Jane Austen Argument, but they played it with AFP on
the album "Amanda Palmer Goes Down Under"
Capo 2
G Bm
I have a little house
Em D G Bm Em
Close to town but not to the city
D G Bm Em
Far from home but near my family
D G Bm
No water views but so close to the sea
Em D G Bm Em D
I see, this is how my little life could be
G Bm Em
And I'm filling it with things
D G Bm Em
Like furniture I find on the street
D G Bm Em
And all the special things I'd like to eat
D G Bm Em
Pictures of people that I'd like to meet, I'll meet them
D *Em
While I'm orbiting the world
*D *Em D
And it's so pretty and so lonely
G Bm Em D G Bm Em
My lovely love affairs are all scheduled 'round the TV guide
D G Bm Em
And my sex life has all been plagiarized
D G Bm Em D
In an attempt to meet a harsh deadline
G Bm Em
I'd like to rent a wife
D G Bm Em
Then rent a husband to keep her for life
D G Bm
The three of us, we could be so happy
Em D G Bm
Them with each other, me with company
Em D *Em
I'll see them off on a flight around the world
*D *Em D
And it's so pretty and so lonely
Em D
I could just die, I might just die
Em D
I could just die, I might just die
G Bm Em
And at my funeral
D G Bm Em
They will say Tom he was such a nice guy
D G Bm Em
He went too early but he went in style
D G Bm Em
They'll play my music and then they will cry
D G Bm Em
Then they'll have a little wake
D G Bm Em
They'll drink bad wine and they'll eat lemon cake
D G Bm Em
And my mother's little heart will break
D G Bm
And she'll say "Wait there must be must some mistake.
Em D G Bm Em
He can't be dead, take me instead"
D Em
Oh, but I'm not dead
D
They tell me I'm not dead
Em
And they say that I'm not dead
D
And that I won't die for some time
G Bm Em
In my little house
D G Bm Em
Just writing little songs to pass the time
D G Bm Em
Which incidentally is seven forty nine
D G Bm Em
So don't you worry I'm completely fine, I'm fine
D G Bm Em
And don't you worry I'm completely fine, I'm fine
D G Bm Em
Don't you worry I'm completely fine, I'm fine
D G Bm Em
Don't you worry I'm completely fine, I'm fine
D G Bm Em
Don't you worry I'm completely fine, I'm fine
D G
I'm just so fucking fine.
*= I'm not sure if this is right.
If you don't use a capo, then...
G--> A
Bm--> C#m
Em--> F#m
D--> E
