Cigarettes And Chocolate Milk chords by Wainwright Rufus

Chords with lyrics

Hey everyone! Here is my arrangement of Cigarettes and Chocolate Milk by Rufus Wainwright.
I love this song so much and think it sounds beautiful accoustic. The song is in the key of E MajorE major
transposing into E MajorE natural minor for some of the verses. I think this is a very simple arrangement
compared to some other arrangements subitted and it is not that hard to learn. Also, if you are having
trouble at all with the B7s you can play them as Bs and it will not make a difference. I do recommend
however, to not change the Bm7s during the minor portions.

Enjoy and let me know if there needs to be any changes!

if i should buy jellybeans

have to eat them all in just one sitting

everything it seems i like's a little bit sweeter
 A augmentedA
a little bit fatter

and then there's those other things
E minorEm        C# minorC#m       E minorEm
which for several reasons we won't mention

everything about them is a little bit stranger

a little bit deadly

sitting here remembering me

always been a shoe made for the city

playing with prodigal songs
E MajorE       C# minorC#m     E MajorE
takes a lot of sentimental valiums

while running on empty

you little old doll with a frown

you got to keep in the game
E minorEm     C# minorC#m          E minorEm
maintaining mystique while facing forward
E minorEm     C# minorC#m      E minorEm
i suggest a reading of 'a lesson in tightropes'
  A minorAm
or 'surfing your high hopes'
  Bm7Bm7
or 'adios kansas'

Chorus:

  E minorEm     A minorAm
it isn't very smart
Bm7Bm7       E minorEm
tends to make one part so broken-hearted

E MajorE
still there's not a show on my back
E MajorE     C# minorC#m   E MajorE
holes or a friendly intervention

so please be kind if i'm a mess
