Country House

(So the story begins)

[Verse]
A                       E
City dweller successful fella
 Bm
Thought to himself: "Oops, I've got 
a lot of money"
  D             (DbBass)        Db
I'm caught in a rat race terminally
  A
I'm a professional cynic
  E
But my heart's not in it
  Bm
I'm paying the price of living life 
at the limit

  D             (DbBass)        Db
Caught up in the century's anxiety
   E
It preys on him, he's getting thin

[Chorus]
        A
Now he lives in a house a very big 
house in the country
         D                         
Watching afternoon repeats and the 
                     A
food he eats in the country
He takes all manner of pills and 
piles up analyst bills in the 
 E7   Eb
country
              D                    
Oh, it's like an animal farm that's
                         A     Ab
 the rural charm in the country

[Verse]
He's got morning glory and life's a 
different story
Everything's going Jackanory Touched
 with his own mortality
He's reading Balzac, knocking back 
Prozac
It's a helping hand that makes you 
feel wonderfully bland
Oh, it's a century's remedy For the 
faint at heart A new start

[Chorus]
(Try the simple life)   He lives in 
a house A very big house In the 
country
He's got a fog in his chest So he 
needs a lot of rest In the country
He doesn't drink, smoke, laugh Takes
 herbal baths In the country
You should come to no harm On the 
animal farm In the country

[Bridge]
A             E               D 
Blow, blow me out, I am so sad, 
                A
I don't know why
