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.)
A BI wake up and look upon your painted eyelids
F# EThe world is your oyster and the trash bags are your kids
A BThe ceiling is invisible there's a bird sinkin thru the sky
F# EAnd every hour that passes is teachin me how to cry
D ACuz it's lonely here in the ugly part of town
B EThe buildings are all vacant and the telephones are down
A BThere's a police siren singing like a tiger with no skin
F# EThe sewer drain is glowing and I don't know what state I'm in
A BAnd the river is on fire there's chemicals and debris
F# EAnd all the roads are blocked off they're just too hard to see
D ASo cancel my appointments and set up a whole new show
B ECuz 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)
A BSo get me a plate of money get me a blanket and a chair
F# EThe limitations are limitless they're floating thru the air
D ACuz it's real and it's true the things I see in you
B EAnd there's nothin I wouldn't talk about with the clearest dream
Athat 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.
