2 99 Cent Blues chords by Regina Spektor

Chords with lyrics

*Hey! Well, I tried my best to make that tab perfect but in the end of this song I got a
little confused so I don't know if it's right. If there's any correction to make, feel
free to do it. Another thing: I used an ukulele to find the chords, so it MAY sound
strange when played with another instrument. This tab will help you to make another, but more
detailed, tab. That's it! Enjoy my first tab!*

Intro: Bb7Bb7

Bb majorBb               Bb7Bb7
Somewhere far away where I roam
FF             F7(or F minorFm)
There live my buffalo twin in
Eb MajorEb
In our twin buffalo home, sweet home
FF                  F7(or F minorFm)
He takes good care of my native son
Eb MajorEb
And he calls me by my native name
FF                  F7(or F minorFm)
He, he even lets us drink spring water on Sundays

Eb MajorEb      Bb majorBb
2.99, 2.99 a gallon
Eb MajorEb      Bb majorBb
2.99, 2.99 a gallon

Bb majorBb                Bb7Bb7
And somewhere further down the road
Bb majorBb         Bb7Bb7
Where I also roam
FF     F7(or F minorFm)
There lives my caterpillar cousin
Eb MajorEb
Beneath a fancy engraved tomb head stone
FF               F7(or F minorFm)
In the middle of his southern town
Eb MajorEb
Beneath a cemetery burial plot
FF            F7(or F minorFm)
And he, he don't pay rent no more, no more
Eb MajorEb               Bb majorBb
But he sure likes, he sure likes the spot

Eb MajorEb              Bb majorBb
He sure likes the spot, likes the spot
Eb MajorEb              Bb majorBb
He sure likes the spot, likes the spot
Eb MajorEb              Bb majorBb
He sure likes the spot, likes the spot

Bb majorBb         Bb7Bb7
But in the furthest place I've ever known
Bb majorBb        Bb7Bb7
Where even I so rarely roam
Eb MajorEb
There lives a boy who just come back from war
Bb majorBb                   Bb7Bb7
His flesh was wounded but he made it back home
FF         F7(or F minorFm)
His mother calls him by his given name
Eb MajorEb
And the neighbors whisper how he prefers to be alone
FF             F7(or F minorFm)
And he gets, he gets nightmares about boys

Eb MajorEb           Bb majorBb
Dripping blood sold for 2.99 2.99 a gallon
Eb MajorEb           Bb majorBb
Come on just 2.99 2.99 a gallon
Eb MajorEb           Bb majorBb
Pay up yours 2.99 2.99 a gallon

Bb majorBb          Bb7Bb7
But when I get me all real tired
Bb majorBb         Bb7Bb7
And I got no more strength to roam
Eb MajorEb
I catch me a horse driven carriage ride
Bb majorBb        Bb7Bb7
From a local man named Ethan Frome
FF        F7(or F minorFm)
He don't say much as he tips his hat
Eb MajorEb
And he carries his body as heavy as lead
~~~~no chord played~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And he could have been flying through the snow on his sled
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
But he wife was in bed and the horses had to be fed

~~~~~~~~~~~~ Eb MajorEb  Bb majorBb
Besides it's 2.99 2.99 a story
Eb MajorEb           Bb majorBb
Come on just 2.99 2.99 a gallon
Eb MajorEb           Bb majorBb
Pay up yours 2.99 2.99 a story
Eb MajorEb           Bb majorBb
Come on baby 2.99 2.99 a story

Bb majorBb
Come on yours
Bb7(or Bb majorBb)
2.99, 2.99, 2.99, 2.99, 2.99, 2.99, 2.99
Bb7(or Bb majorBb)
2.99, 2.99, 2.99, 2.99, 2.99, 2.99, 2.99....
FF    F7(or F minorFm)
Oh, 2.99 2.99 a story
Bb majorBb      Eb MajorEb
Pay up yours 2.99 2.99 a story
Bb majorBb       Eb MajorEb
Pay up yours just 2.99 2.99 a story
Eb MajorEb    FF      F7(or F minorFm)   Bb majorBb
