Capo III

♫ Verse 1:
        D     C       B
Life is dull, life is gray
       Em        Bm    C#m   A
At its best it's just OK
        D     C    B
But I'm happy to report:
Bb           D
Life is also short


♫ Verse 2:
     G           Gm          D
So I find myself back in California
      G              A
I'm a coolie for the tourists
      G        A
Those happy Epicureans
D                     G            A
Evil specters from my own suburban upbringing
♫ Verse 3:
D                     G               Gm      D
As I reveal points of interest, I can chat so pleasantly
         G          A                 G       A
But it's hard to be cheerful when you feel so hopeless
D                              G
And there's no reason for this dark mood
Em            D         B7
It will pass; it will return
    E7           A
But will I ever learn?


♫ Verse 4:
D                   G         Gm             D
And the children of privilege begging for my spare change
        G       A             G                A
Do they need my assistance to purchase their intoxicants?
D                              G
Or would they best be served a swift kick
Em                    D               B7
Slowly sinking in the vast ambivalent sea
   E7  A7  D
