Lời & hợp âm

[Intro 1]
[Am]
[Dm][Am]
[Em][Dm][Am]

[Verse 1]
[Am]I saw
some people starving
There was murder, there was rape
Their villages were burning
They were trying to escape
[Dm]I couldn't meet their glances
I was staring at my shoes
It [Am]was acid, it was tragic
It was almost like the [Em]blues[Dm]
It was almost [Am]like the blues

[Verse 2]
[Am]
I have to die a little
Between each murderous thought
And when I'm finished thinking
I have to die a lot
There's tor[Dm]ture and there's killing
And there's all my bad reviews
[Am]The war, the children missing
Lord, it's almost like the [Em]blues[Dm]
It's almost like [Am]a blues

[Verse 3]
[Am]
So I let my heart get frozen
To keep away the rot
My father says I'm chosen
My mother says I'm not
I [Dm]listened to their story
Of the Gypsies and the [F]Jew[Dm]s
It was [Am]good, it wasn't boring
It was almost like the [Em]blues[Dm]
It was almost [Am]like the blues

[Verse 4]
[Am]
There is no God in Heaven
And there is no Hell below
So says the great professor
Of all there is to know
But I've [Dm]had the invitation
That a sinner can't refuse
And it's [Am]almost like salvation
It's almost like the [Em]blues[Dm]
[Am]It's[Em][Dm]
almost like
[Am]a bl[Em]ues[Dm]
Almost like [Am]a blues

[Outro 1]
[Am]
