Robyn Hitchcock - Invisible Hitchcock - The Abandoned Brain

Key of Eb, capo 3:

C majorC fade in

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

C majorC A minorAm FF DmDm

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

C majorC A minorAm FF Bb majorBb

C majorC          A minorAm
Roses bloom in the abandoned brain
  FF            DmDm
And thoughts run wild on the floor
    C majorC          A minorAm
Like a headless corpse, a derailed train
     FF        Bb majorBb
Who could ask for anything more?

  G+G          A minorAm
I'm sitting here in the abandoned brain
FF          DmDm
Waiting for take-off in it
   G+G            A minorAm  FF
They say it's never going to work again
  DmDm        FF     C majorC
