Painted Eyelids

The following is the correct (at least in my opinion) version of Painted

Eyelids by Beck from his K Records release One Foot In The Grave. (Excellent

album. Pick it up.) Anyway, I really disagree with the version on the olga

and at numerous other sites so here goes:

Intro: A (play the lowest note of the chord first then strum...just listen

to the record.)

I wake up and look upon your painted eyelids

The world is your oyster and the trash bags are your kids

The ceiling is invisible there's a bird sinkin thru the sky

And every hour that passes is teachin me how to cry

Cuz it's lonely here in the ugly part of town

The buildings are all vacant and the telephones are down

There's a police siren singing like a tiger with no skin

The sewer drain is glowing and I don't know what state I'm in

And the river is on fire there's chemicals and debris

And all the roads are blocked off they're just too hard to see

So cancel my appointments and set up a whole new show

Cuz I'm in need of a good hot meal and a life to call my own

(At this point Harmonica solo plays over chord progression A-B-F#-E)

So get me a plate of money get me a blanket and a chair

The limitations are limitless they're floating thru the air

Cuz it's real and it's true the things I see in you

And there's nothin I wouldn't talk about with the clearest dream

that ever drifted by

Play A until fade out

That's it. You should get the basic idea. Just listen to the record for the

strumming pattern. Have fun.
