A remedy is what I'm seeking

Come away to something better

play this G only leading in
to the A-G-F#-E pattern, not
before the E-E/G# section
Sometimes a Jimi Thing
Slides my way and keeps me
Swinging I'd like to show you what's inside,
I shouldn't care if you do or don't like it
Brother chaos rule all about
Sometimes I walk there
Well yes, God knows, sometimes I take a bus there
Shouldn't care
I shouldn't care
A
bereaved as I'm feeling
BACK TO INTRO
2. The day is gone
I'm on my back
Staring up at the celing
I take a drink sit back relax
Smoke my mind make me feel better for a small time

Swinging I'd like to show you what's inside,
I shouldn't care if you do or don't like it

Shouldn't care
