Government Bookstore chords by The Auteurs

F     Am7   Bb     F
Not the hospital gown you're wearing
F   Am7      Bb   C
Or the bad luck that dogs us down
    Dm C Bb F Gm
What's done is done
        C     F
They burned the old place down

F    Am7    Bb     F
Run around in the reference section
F    Am7     Bb    C
Tried to catch the attendants eye
  Dm C Bb F Gm
Ten years on the night shift
       C    F
Well I don't work tonight

Dm   C       Dm
All my books are on loan
     Bb     C     F
Since the government bookstore closed

Gm   C       Dm
All my books are on loan
     Bb     Am7    Bb  F
Since the government bookstore closed

F    Am7    Bb  F
Well we met in the hotel lobby
F   Am7   Bb  C
The executor read aloud the will
 Dm C Bb F Gm
No wake, no eulogy
       C   F
From this pathetic crowd

A
It's no Bloomsbury afternoon
    Dm           C
Just a couple of soaks and the village fool

F      Am7      Bb     F
Well they closed down the whole main building
F    Am7    Bb     C
Boarded up and the main gates staying locked
 Dm C Bb F Gm
Used to steal things
        C   F
