Helplessness Blues

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 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 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 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 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 Short Instr E 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...
