Blues in Bob Minor
From "Shleep" by Robert Wyatt, 1997
Tabbed by Lachlan Sleight
Note: Because the lyrics are quite hard to perform, I marked the points where
Robert takes a
breath on the original recording with caret (^) signs.
Good luck!
[Intro]
Em Em Am Em Am C Bm Am/F
[Verse 1]
Em
^ Roger's in the archive looking up casement, Martha's in the government ^
digging up the basement.
Em
Rebel into representative for the voter. ^ Shadow backbencher couldn't get a
word in.
Am
^ Turned up anyway, issues burning. ^ All consuming, drinks in the cabinet
Em
^ Spent a lot of time just examining the building. Drinks on the house? You
must be joking
C Bm
^ Corridors of power cuts toy telephone bill. Long time no see underneath
the floorboard
Am
^ Looking for the roots of the family treetops. Toe's in the water but
you've only got ten.
Em
Fingers in the eel pie, poke around tip top. ^ Tunnelling a wormhole Eartha
Kitty catfish.
Em
^ Meadow brown peacock, pupa-larva-caterpillar, hibernate in winter of our
discotheque. No
Am
End in sight. More like a spiral ^ coil or curler just unwinding
Em
Very slowly ^ revealing endless disappearing pipelines
C Bm
Genuflecting, bowing deeply. It don't take a weathergirl to see where the
wind is
Am Em
Blowing. ^ What the wind is bending
[Instrumental 1]
Em Em Am Em C Bm Am
[Verse 2]
Em
^ Isobars are opening. Sex to midnight. Cabinet shuffling homeward bound.
Em
^ Taking a detour, rendezvous-do. Chapel in the valley of the blown up doll.
Am/F
^ That's not Martha shunting in a siding. She got homework up to here.
