J Tillman - James Blues
Capo IV
Intro & Bridge:
Verse 1:
James incurred the wrath
of a jealous woman
Not long after that
spending all his weekends
Trying to relearn
How a young man yearns after a noose
Poor poor James
Verse 2:
Most nights he has dreams
all his teeth are missing
Wakes up in a sweat
Simpleton heart racing
He throws back the sheets
Begins to weep without much feeling
Poor poor James
Bridge
Verse 3:
Desire is what makes
Upright mammals human
Put me out to graze
Give this beast a burden
Because the universe
Makes much more sense without a purpose
Poor poor James
