Malaise chords by Jesse Welles

[Intro]

G

[Verse 1]
G
Up in the asylum
 Am
On the temple of the couch
 C
I was a witness to
 G
Immaculate tv


[Verse 2]
G

I will pray unto laverne
 Am
And Shirley one last time
 C
Before the supernova
 G
Bleaches me


[Chorus]
 D
Will they measure Mars in acres
 C                G
Will we finally meet our makers
 Am
Will Lucifer
 D     C
Laugh until he cries


[Verse 3]
 G
On the great red plains of Mars
 Am
Underneath the same old stars
 C
A trillion miles run
 G
And still I cannot hide


[Harmonica Solo]
G    Am    C    G


[Verse 4]
G
With the frontiers all surveyed
 Am
And the buffalo put away
 C
I wondered
 G
What remains


[Verse 5]
G
With every mountain logged thus
 Am
And every field farmed into dust
 C
I guess we ought to Go and
 G
Put the sky in chains


[Chorus]
 D
Things determined are in motion
 C             G
By some preternatural notion
 Am
How could it be
 D  C
No one consulted me


[Verse 6]
 G
Oh I must of missed the meeting
 Am
The interdimensional committee
 C
Though I must say
 G
I'm not insulted in the least


[Harmonica Solo]
G    Am    C    G


[Verse 7]
G
On that billion light-year frigate
 Am
I said toss me over dig it
 C
I Am running from a ruthless jealous God


[Verse 8]
G
You don't know what wrath is mateys
 Am
Never lived ye through the 80's
 C
The war was cold
 G
But the cocaine hit the spot


[Chorus]
 D
When they set the pole in concrete
 C                 G
And unfurl man's ragged longing
 Am                          D      C
And the banner of accomplishment is raised
 G
O'er the wasteland red as hell
 Am
I will wonder, wonder well
 C                               G
Who in space is left to blame for my
malaise?


[Harmonica Solo]
G    Am    C    G
Am    C    G
