Cigarettes And Chocolate Milk chords by Wainwright Rufus

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 major
transposing into E 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!

and then there's those other things

which for several reasons we won't mention

a little bit deadly

E
playing with prodigal songs

takes a lot of sentimental valiums

can't expect the world to be your raggedy andy

while running on empty

you little old doll with a frown

you got to keep in the game

maintaining mystique while facing forward
Em          C#m           Em
i suggest a reading of 'a lesson in tightropes'
    Am
or 'surfing your high hopes'
    Bm7
or 'adios kansas'

Chorus:

   Em         Am
it isn't very smart

holes or a friendly intervention

i'm just a little bit heiress, a little bit Irish
  B7                  E               C#m
a little bit tower of pisa whenever i see you
   C#m               B7    E
so please be kind if i'm a mess

E
