1989 Blues chords by Daniel Johnston

Em            F
I've got the worried blues,
                 Em
And I don't know what to do.
F                 D
It seems my dreams
                       G
Have been tarnished by events.

                  G
And I think of you
                              F
and I hope that we aren't done.
Em
You're the one I need
D                          G
To get me through a lonely lifetime.

                  G
Some of the things they said
                               F
Well, they might have been true
Em                D                G
But I really don't appreciate it so much.

(Strike the G chord like 7 or 8 times at the end)


C                                   Em
Just yesterday I had so much to say.
F                                   D
Seemed like people wanted to listen.
                             Em                 G2
But now today nobody wants to have a thing to do with me~~~.

(Strike G2 chord throughout the "me.")


              G
And I'm so sad.
                              F
Everything has turned out bad.
Em
I tried so hard,
D                     G
But goofed up somehow.

                       G
I just want you to know
                         F
I didn't mean no harm on purpose.
D                              Em
But they turned it into a circus
               G
Just to put me down

                     G
But I'm still around.
                               F
Maybe I'll have another chance.
D                Em
To turn the tables
                        G
And be a hero in the end

(Strike the G chord like 7 or 8 times at the end)


C                                   Em
Just yesterday I had so much to say.
F                                   D
Seemed like people wanted to listen.
                             Em                 G2
But now today nobody wants to have a thing to do with me~~~.

(Strike G2 chord throughout the "me.")


Em
And so I'm singin'
               F
The 1989 blues.
Em                         D
But I'm lookin' forward to:
                           G
A better future for me and you.

Em
And now comes,
                     F
The end of this song.
Em                                            D
Some of the things I did might have been wrong
                                      G    Em
But it's only because I was out of my mind.

              G2 F G
The 1989 Blues

(At the end, play the G2 a few times rapidly, then switch to an F and end on a G.)
