     1.	Lately I've been feeling low
	A remedy is what I'm seeking
	I take a tase of what's below
	Come away to something better

	Sometimes a Jimi Thing
	Slides my way and keeps me
	Swinging I'd like to show you what's inside,
	I shouldn't care if you do or don't like it
	Brother chaos rule all about
	Sometimes I walk there
	Well yes, God knows, sometimes I take a bus there
	Shouldn't care
	I shouldn't care

	      A
	bereaved as I'm feeling


BACK TO INTRO

	2.	The day is gone
		I'm on my back
		Staring up at the celing
		I take a drink sit back relax
		Smoke my mind make me feel better for a small time

					  A   A
		What I want is what I've GOT NOT
		And what I need is all around me
		Reaching searching never stop
		And I'll say...
