Verse 1:
I'm on my time with everyone
I have very bad posture
Chorus:
Sit and drink Pennyroyal tea
Distill the life that's inside of me
Sit and drink Pennyroyal tea
I'm anemic royalty
Verse 2:
Give me Leonard Cohen afterworld
So I can sigh eternally
Chorus:
I'm so tired I can sleep
I'm anemic royalty
I'm a liar and a thief
I'm anemic royalty
Verse 3:
I'm on warm milk and laxatives
Cherry-flavored antacids
Chorus:
Sit and drink Pennyroyal tea
Distill the life that's inside of me
I'm anemic royalty
I'm anemic royalty
NOTES:
Kurt strums the chorus differently for the 3 times they are played in the song,
what I tabbed is correct for the 1st chorus part only. However, rest assured that
the 3 chorus parts use the same chords, it's just a different strumming pattern Kurt
used. Also, Verse 3 is played slower than the other verses.. and so is the outro, which
