Baptist Hospital (Boo Hewerdine)
This is the title track of Boo Hewerdine's third album.
It's played in G (capo at 5), but all the following is written as though
played in D (at the nut).
Intro & verse
bts ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^
D . Ds4 . Ds9 . D Ds9 D
ping pong on a ta--ble bouncing that's exactly how I'm
feeling
I'm tired of staring at the floor coz you've been staring at the
ceiling
horus
:
If there is no laughter in heaven
G D G(II) D G(II) D
then I don't want to go, I don't want to go
D . Ds4 . Ds9 . D Ds9 D
There's nothing quite as funny-sad as Christmas day a launderette
but I'll be fine, I'll be OK my paper hat, dream cigarette
horus
Instr.
:
*G(I) A(I) D/E
G D G(II) D G(II) D
D . Ds4 . Ds9 . D Ds9 D
I saw the thing I fear the most outside the Baptist Hospital
halfway be-tween a bum and ghost my future is indelible
horus
(second time played arpeggiated, like everything after the * in the
instrumental)
