Hunger Song

G G C G D G


[Verse 1]
D                   D
I’ve got a hollow inside my stomach
       C             C
That I can’t seem to fill
             G
With all the things
     C   G
That I believe

  D                       D
I fill it with mead and I fill it with bread
      C                       C
And I fill it with drink on a
            Em
Saturday evening
     C      G
Till Sunday morning


[Chorus 1]
    B              Em
But I’m still hungry
                 D    C
For something to fill me
D                  C
Ah, make me whole again
D                  C    G B Em D C
So I won’t be hungry anymore
   G C G
Anymore


[Verse 2]
D                D
My own neighbour knew wood and skin
       C
He was good with his hands
      C           G
Always heavy with drinking
C      G
My own neighbour

D                  D
My own neighbour’s wife came home
       C
In the early morning
    C
She grabbed the little girl and
    Em              C
She took off in the half-light
             G
To the Best Western


[Chorus 2]
    B            Em
Now he’s looking for
             D         C
Something to fill this time
D              C
True, give his heaviness
D           C        G
Something involved, oh
D         C
Fill this time
D              C
True, give his heaviness
D           C        G B Em D C
Something involved, oh
G B Em D C
Oh

If you’re coming back

But if you’re coming home
C        G
Cold and hungry
B         Em
I’m gonna die…

For my lovely

For your fingers, oh

Oh
