If You Could Save Yourself You'd Save Us All by Ween
If You Could Save Yourself You'd Save Us All
INTRO (Play this chord progression once): F-A7-D-Bb
VERSE I: (I'm not entirely sure about the E7, but it sounds acceptable enough while
the song...any corrections are definitely welcome.)
D E7
On a free ride home from the embassy
A7 E7 A7 D
I saw the governor, and his lover, holding hands
D E7
When I got to my place, I emptied my suitcase
A7 E7 A7 D
And opened the windows wide
CHORUS: (No chord until "save")
F A7
If you could save yourself, you'd save us all
D Bb
Is that what you called me for, is that why you're knocking on my door
F A7
The time I've spent, working myself to death
D Bb
Thought that's what you wanted, I thought you needed my help
F A7
To make it good again, to makes us strong
Bb F
To make you happy, to push you along
A7
And gain some respect, to be thrown a crumb
Bb F
I was on my knees when you knocked me down
VERSE II:
D
The wheels fell off, the bottom dropped out
E7
The checks all bounced, I came in your mouth
A7 E7 A7 D
Your mother came calling but there was no one around
D
The trash caught fire when the leaves turned brown
E7
The vultures were circling when the circus left town
A7 E7 A7 D
I left you a note but I wrote it in disappearing ink...
CHORUS:
F A7
If you could save yourself, you'd save us all
D Bb
Is that what you called me for, is that why you're knocking on my door
F A7
The time I've spent, working myself to death
D Bb
Thought that's what you wanted, I thought you needed my help
F A7
To make it good again, to makes us strong
Bb F
To make you happy, to push you along
A7
And gain some respect, to be thrown a crumb
Bb F
I was on my knees when you knocked me down
~Outgoing chord progression (during keyboard solo):
F-A7-Bb(Bb is held for awhile, listen to the song)-F
~or~
F-A7-Bb (again, held awhile), then play this descending progression, strumming each
once: Bb, Am, Gm, F (Although I think this sounds a bit corny...up to you.)
