Touch Me Someplace I Can Feel by John Callahan


   Touch Me Someplace I Can Feel 



Capo:no capo

[Verse 1]
C                   F
   Broken veins and   Broken Needles
C                   F      C
   I'm too tired to make a fist
C              F
Charlie Manson sings the Beatles
C                             F        C
   I should've known it would end like this
 
[Chorus 1]
Am                C
Stick it deep and light my candle
Am               C
Help yourself to my last meal
C                   F
  I've had all that I can handle
C                    F     C
  Touch me someplace I can feel
 
[Verse 2]
C                    F
   In the dream I'm  in the desert 
C                          F         C
   I feel the fever from a scorpion sting 
C                          F
It's a burning fire and it creeps like ether
C                               F     C
   But if feels so good when it warps everything 
 
[Chorus 2]
Am               C
Life is hard but death is worth it
Am                 C
Nothing's certain  Nothing's real 
C                   F
  Give me something cheap, but perfect 
C                    F     C
  Touch me someplace I can feel
 
[Verse 3]
C                       F
   Night wind wails and   window crashes 
C                            F            C
   It blows my eyes out as I cling to the drain  
C                          F
The nurse is tired and her feet are aching 
C                             F           C
   She's got better things to do with her pain 
 
[Chorus 2]
Am               C
Oh sweet Jane my faithless daughter 
Am                 C
Use your blues and lets get real
C                F
  When I walk on walk on water
C                    F     C
  Touch me someplace I can feel

version 2 




Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:no capo
A
Note: this is NOT the original harmonization. Lemme explain:
 
The album version of this song relies on open C, F, and Am chords.
The result, at least in my opinion, sounds weirdly happy for such
a sad song. When Callahan plays it, however, he slides up and down
a uke, not caring much for intonation on account of his paralysis.
I like this version a lot better, I think it's way more emotionally
effective. That said, I still wanted a sadder version of the cleaner
album cut. So, I reharmonized it.
 
I didn't change much. C is now Cadd9, and I added a G7. I think it's
important that this song is relatively easy to play. Here it is:
 
[Verse]
Cadd9            F
Broken veins and broken needles,
Cadd9            F      Cadd9
I'm too tired to make a fist.
Cadd9            F
Charlie Manson sings the Beatles,
Cadd9                      F        Cadd9
I should've known it would end like this.
 
Am                Cadd9
Stick it deep and light my candle.
Am               G7
Help yourself to my last meal.
Cadd9             F
I've had all that I can handle.
Cadd9              F     Cadd9
Touch me someplace I can feel.
 
[Verse]
Cadd9            F
In the dream I'm in the desert.
Cadd9                 F        Cadd9
I feel the fever of a scorpion sting.
Cadd9                       F
It's a burning fire, and it creeps like ether,
Cadd9                        F         Cadd9
But it feels so good when it warps everything.
 
Am                Cadd9
Life is hard, but death is worth it.
Am                    G7
Nothing's certain, nothing's real.
Cadd9             F
Give me something cheap but perfect.
Cadd9              F     Cadd9
Touch me someplace I can feel.
 
[Verse]
Cadd9                     F
Night wind wails, and the window crashes.
Cadd9                      F             Cadd9
It blows my eyes out as it clings to the drain.
Cadd9                       F
The nurse is tired, and her feet are achin'.
Cadd9                      F           Cadd9
She's got better things to do with her pain.
 
Am                Cadd9
Oh sweet Jane, my faithless daughter,
Am                       G7
Use your blues and let's get real.
Cadd9           F
When I walk on, walk on water,
Cadd9              F     Cadd9
Touch me someplace I can feel.
