The Corner Chords

Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

D A G Bm

DOut on the Acorner of what I Gwant, and Awhat I intend to get

Dday drinking and Adreaming of Gyou, I letA

Dthe ashtrayA smoke my lGast cigAarette

Once I had a casual acquaintance with my impending doom

years ago he promised me some day soon

I'd howl at the moon from room to room

 I ain't Gtranscending much of Dnothing

 I've been down Ain it, I ain't Dfree

 Weren't no exBmperiment - these seven Gyears they Dwent

  A D (progressively down to G) C♯ B A G

like a life out of me

Clowning on the corner of almost gone but maybe not just yet

there's still a little left to pawn and the bones aren't set

The cast is slack, the plaster's wet

Stepping up the escalator singing hell I am out of here

past the predetermined terminals of tears

the wings are warm, the runway's clear

I ain't transcending much of nothing

I'm still down in it, I ain't free

Weren't no experiment - these seven years they went

like a life out of me

Maybe all the world's a hollow recreation, my desperate bretheren

hallowed blue hallucination we play to win

put your right foot out, put your right foot in

But it's a useful little illusion that'll lose you for a song

in the beautiful confusion you've been down and counting on

and it's a useful little illusion that'll lose you for a song

in the beautiful confusion you've been down and counting on

I ain't transcending nothing

I'm still down in it, I ain't free

weren't no experiment - hell every tear was ran

like a life out of me

Out on the corner what I want, what I intend to get

day drinking and dreaming of you, I let

the ashtray smoke my last cigarette
