The Abandoned Brain chords by Robyn Hitchcock

Robyn Hitchcock - Invisible Hitchcock - The Abandoned Brain

Key of Eb, capo 3:

C fade in

C            Am
I'm sitting here in the abandoned brain
F          Dm
Waiting for take-off in it
   C          Am
They say it's never gonna work again
  F         Dm
But I can spare a few minutes
   C          Am
Been here before in the abandoned brain
    F           Dm
There's flowers on all the controls
  G           Am    F
The tape keeps telling me again and again
   Dm         F
That I am the keeper of souls

C Am F Dm

  C            Am
The wind blows hard on the abandoned brain
      F         Dm
But there's nobody thinking at all
  C        Am
The hypothalamus is open to the rain
    F           Bb
And the leaves sweep into the hall
    G          Am
There's no one else in the abandoned brain
  F           Dm
But that's not necessarily bad
  G            Am  F
It feeds on itself but it's not insane
   Dm          F
This brain’s too old to go mad

C Am F Bb

C          Am
Roses bloom in the abandoned brain
  F            Dm
And thoughts run wild on the floor
    C          Am
Like a headless corpse, a derailed train
     F        Bb
Who could ask for anything more?

  G          Am
I'm sitting here in the abandoned brain
F          Dm
Waiting for take-off in it
   G            Am  F
They say it's never going to work again
  Dm        F     C
