Helplessness Blues(Chords)

	        
Verse 1: 

E 
I was raised up believing 
      A 
I was somehow unique 
       B 
Like a snowflake distinct among snowflakes 
   A                       E 
Unique in each way you can see 

Verse 2: 
E 
And now after some thinking 
    A 
I'd say I'd rather be 
  B 
A functioning cog in some great machinery 
 A                       E 
Serving something beyond me 

 

E                                        A 
But I don't, I don't know what that will be 
         E                       A         E 
I'll get back to you someday soon you will see 


Verse 3: 

E 
What's my name, what's my station 
        A 
Oh just tell me what I should do 
        B 
I don't need to be kind to the armies of night 
           A                    E 
That would do such injustice to you 

Verse 4:  
E 
Or bow down and be grateful 
         A 
And say 'Sure take all that you see' 
       B 
To the men who move only in dimly-lit halls 
       A                    E 
And determine my future for me 

 
E                                     A 
And I don't, I don't know who to believe 
         E                     A           E 
I'll get back to you someday soon you will see 

Verse 6:  

E 
If I know only one thing 
          A 
It's that every thing that I see 
       B 
Of the world outside is so inconceivable 
A                  E 
Often I barely can speak 

Yeah I'm tongue tied and dizzy 
      A                     
And I can't keep it to myself 
      B                              
What good is it to sing helplessness blues? 
           A                 E 
Why should I wait for anyone else? 


E                                          A 
And I know, I know you will keep me on the shelf 
          E                    A       E 
I'll come back to you someday soon myself

Choral Section: 

E           A 
If I had an orchard 
    E             A    (Aadd9) 
I'd work till I'm raw 
A6          E 
If i had an orchard 
                  A      Asus4   A 
I'd work till I'm sore 

    E              A 
And you would wait tables 
    E            A    Asus4   A 
And soon run the store 

E                 A 
Gold hair in the sunlight 
   E            A    (Aadd9) 
My light in the dawn 
A6          E 
If I had an orchard 
                  A    Asus4    A 
I'd work till I'm sore 

   E       A 
If I had an orchard 
   E              A    Asus4   A 
I'd work till I'm sore 

Harmony Verse - follow same chord pattern as before... 

   E         A 
Someday I'll be 
        E               A 
Like the man on the screen 

A - Asus4 - A - E
