Capo 3rd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Verse 1

your hand on his arm

  the hay stack charm around your neck

  strung out and thin

  calling some friend trying to cash some check

  he's acting dumb

  that's what you've come__ to expect

Chorus

needle in the hay

  needle in the hay

needle in the hay

  needle in the hay

Verse 2

he's wearing your clothes

  head down to toes a reaction to you

  you say, you know what he did but you idiot kid

  you don't have a clue

  somtimes they just get caught in the eye

  you're pulling him through

Chorus

needle in the hay

  needle in the hay

needle in the hay

  needle in the hay

Middle

Verse 3

  now on the bus

  nearly touching this dirty retreat

  falling out 6th and powell a dead sweat in my teeth

  gonna walk walk walk

  four more blocks plus the one in my break

  down downstairs to the man

  he's gonna make it all ok

  i can't beat myself

  i can't beat myself

  and i don't want to talk

  i'm taking the cure so i can be quiet

  whenever i want

  so leave me alone

  you ought to be proud that i'm getting good marks

Chorus

(x2)

needle in the hay

  needle in the hay

needle in the hay
