HAIRSHIRT



{This song repeats these 8 measures throughout the verses:

G / / / G / / / A7 / / / A7 / / / C / / / C / / / G / / / G / / /}

>

> I am not the type of dog

> That could keep you waiting

> For no good reason

> Run a carbon-black test on my jaw

> And you will find it's all been said before

>

  G    A7             C                      Am

> I can swing my megaphone and long arm the rest

        Am

> It's easier and better

                             C      C

> To just beat it from the chest

> Of desire       G

>

 {verse}

> I could walk into this room

> And the waves of conversation are enough

> To knock you down in the undertow

> So alone so alone in my life

> Feed me banks of light

> And hang your hairshirt on the lowest rung

> It's a beautiful life

> And I can hang my hairshirt

> Away up high in the attic of the wrong dog's life chest

> Or bury it at sea

> All my life I've searched for this

>

> Here I am here I am in your life

> It's a beautiful life

> My life

> It's a beautiful life

> Your life
