Am G F C
There is no blues that can sound quite as heartfelt as mine
F Dm F Am
Lamented at the gorge of the river, I watched it weep its banks dry
Am G F C
I hum the sorriest tune on the bar at these dives
F Dm F Am
Send all the patrons running home to make up with their first wives
[Chorus]
F C
(But the low...)
F Am G
(And to bask...)
F C
(But the low...)
F Am G
(And to bask...)
[Verse 2]
Am G F C
My prose is purple but not as pretty as Lucerne
F Dm F Am
For sweet nothings from the lips of a gargoyle, nobody ever yearned
Am G F C
Perpetually a philistine, but darling, I am longing to learn
F Dm F Am
Been looked at like the rotten grape on the vine, while you and yours are drinking Sauternes
[Chorus]
F C
(But the low) is what I came for
F Am G
(And to bask) in a darkness I do adore
F C
(But the low) is what I came for
F Am G
(And to bask) in a darkness I do adore
F C
(But the low) is what I came for
F Am G
(And to bask) in a darkness I do adore
F C
(But the low) is what I came for
F Am G F
(And to bask) in a darkness I do adore
C F Am G
I do adore, I do adore, I do adore
[Instrumental]
F C F Am G x2
[Verse 3]
Am G F C
I am the magpie's solo, the sorrow that makes you salute
F Dm F Am
Pounding the earth for the early worm, I am a glutton but it's good for my glutes
Am G F C
I was solace to the sirens, the bait on the fisherman's rod
F Dm F Am
The hook took me far from my family, but closer to God
[Chorus]
F C
(But the low) is what I came for
F Am G
(And to bask) in a darkness I do adore
F C
(But the low) is what I came for
F Am G
(And to bask) in a darkness I do adore
F C
(But the low) is what I came for
F Am G
(And to bask) in a darkness I do adore
F C
(But the low) is what I came for
F Am G F
(And to bask) in a darkness I do adore
C
(But the low) But the low is what I came for
F Am G F
(And to bask) But the low is what I came here for
C
(But the low) But the low is what I came for
F Am G F
(And to bask) But the low is what I came here for
