The Living Lyrics
Natalie Merchant - The Living
What a great great album - thanks for everything Natalie.
This is a very sad, beautiful, and easy to play song.
For the 'G' on the Intro, don't use the low 'E' string so as to leave
your index finger free for 1st fret fill.
For the 'D' chord, include the open 'A' string for flavor.
INTRO:
What's it like there outside
With the living, with the living
Here I've found a place that I can hide
From the living, from the living
Cause I don't care to stay with the living
Oh, the bottle has been to me
My closest friend, my worst enemy
Oh, fickle I walked a fine line
Squandered it all and wasted my time
And I don't stand a chance among the living
For the lovers I've gambled and lost
Count my mistakes whatever the cost
I'll go off, I'll make myself scarce
Oh, come tomorrow You won't find me here
Because I don't care to stay with the living
I don't think I'll remain with the living
solo:
C G D C (crying)
C G D C (crying)
And I don't care to stay with the living
No, I don't care to stay
