Blank Generation by Richard Hell
Blank Generation
I was sayin' let me out of here
Em D C B
Before I was even born
Em D
It's such a gamble when you get a face
C B
It's fascinatin' to observe what the mirror does
Em D C B
But when I die it's to the wall that I set my face
Em D C B
Chorus: I belong to the blank generation, and
Em D C B
I can take it or leave it each time, well
Em D C B
I belong to the ----- generation
Em D C B
I can take it or leave it each time
Em B7 Em Em
Oooo oooo oooo oooo(same notes as chords)
Em D C B
Triangles falling at the window as the doctor cursed
Em D C B
He was a cartoon, long forsaken by the public eye
Em D C B
The nurse adjusted her garters as I breathed my first
Em D C B
The doctor grabbed my throat and said, "God's consolation prize!"
Em D C B
CHORUS
Oooo oooo oooo oooo(same notes as chords)
Em D C B
(repeat)
To hold the TV to my lips, the air so packed with cash
Em D C B
Then carry it up flights of stairs and drop it in your vacant--lot
Em D C B
Then lose my train of thought and fall into your arms' tracks
Em D C B
And hold beneath my eyelids every passing thought
Em D C B
CHORUS
CHORUS (quietly)
Oooo oooo oooo oooo
Em D C B
Oooo oooo oooo oooo
Em D C B
Waah oooooooo

verse 2
Triangles were fallin at the window as the doctor cursed
He was a cartoon long forsaken by the public eye
The nurse adjusted her garters as I breathed my first
The doctor grabbed my throat and yelled, "God's consolation prize"
Chorus
verse 3
To hold the t.v. to my lips, the air so packed with cash
then carry it up flights of stairs and drop it in the vacant lot
To lose my train of thought and fall into your arms' tracks
and watch beneath the eyelids every passing dot
chorus 2x

version 3
Tuning: EADGBe like we all know and love
beat really is a 1 not a 4. The rest of the
song is pretty straightforward, please be inspired by this intro
I've given beat numbers. You might consider the tempo to be half this
speed, but the rhythm is tricky and it's easier to notate with 8th
notes instead of 16ths. Please listen to the song to get the phrasing.
