This is how I play the song! Suggestions and corrections welcome! I'm not 100% sure but this is what the bass notes sound like to me. Verse 1: Am G F C There is no blues that can sound quite as heartfelt as mine F Dm F Am Lamented at the gorge of the river, I watched it weep its banks dry Am G F C I hum the sorriest tune on the bar at these dives F Dm F Am Send all the patrons running home to make up with their first wives Chorus: F C (But the low...) F Am G (And to bask...) F C (But the low...) F Am G (And to bask...)
Verse 2: Am G F C My prose is purple but not as pretty as Lucerne F Dm F Am For sweet nothings from the lips of a gargoyle, nobody ever yearned Am G F C Perpetually a philistine, but darling, I am longing to learn F Dm F Am Been looked at like the rotten grape on the vine, while you and yours are drinking Sauternes Chorus: F C (But the low) is what I came for F Am G (And to bask) in a darkness I do adore F C (But the low) is what I came for F Am G (And to bask) in a darkness I do adore F C (But the low) is what I came for F Am G (And to bask) in a darkness I do adore F C (But the low) is what I came for F Am G F (And to bask) in a darkness I do adore C F Am G I do adore, I do adore, I do adore Instrumental: F C F Am G x2 Verse 3: Am G F C I am the magpie's solo, the sorrow that makes you salute F Dm F Am Pounding the earth for the early worm, I am a glutton but it's good for my glutes Am G F C I was solace to the sirens, the bait on the fisherman's rod F Dm F Am The hook took me far from my family, but closer to God Chorus: F C (But the low) is what I came for F Am G (And to bask) in a darkness I do adore F C (But the low) is what I came for F Am G (And to bask) in a darkness I do adore F C (But the low) is what I came for F Am G (And to bask) in a darkness I do adore F C (But the low) is what I came for F Am G F (And to bask) in a darkness I do adore C (But the low) But the low is what I came for F Am G F (And to bask) But the low is what I came here for C (But the low) But the low is what I came for F Am G F
