Strum
D-DU-UDU
I  went down to library you know the big one way down  town
 I went down to  the library you know the big one way  down town
 I pulled out my  spiral notebook and my scripto pencil
 - - 2/2
 These these these are the words that I did put down
 I’m a dud-fire  cracker  I ain’t got any  fuse
 I ain’t got no inspiration since I lost my muse
 I’m a table with two legs, I’m a spider with five
 I’m going down slow muse when will you arrive
 4/4
 Oh muse where are you?
 Oh muse where  are you?
 2/2
 You know I eat, drink and I smoke stuff
I  don’t know what to do.
I  went  to  the mountain and the desert too
 I was there lady so where were you
 I’m a flattened out wave I ain’t got any curl
 I’m an empty old oyster I ain’t got any pearl
 4/4
 Muse where are you?
Oh  muse where are you?
 2/2
 You know I eat, drink and I smoke stuff
I  don’t know what to do.
Sit  up late, stay  up wait. It’s a rule of  thumb she’s got to come
 Sit up late, stay up wait. It’s a rule of thumb she’s got to come
I  take  lots  of cold showers and I go for long walks
 I wait for a pitch but the fickle bitch barks
 Took a shot of whisky and a snort of cocaine
 4/4
 Opened up my head and stuck electrodes in my brain
Oh  muse where are you where are you?
Muse  where are you?
 You know I eat, drink and I smoke stuff
 I eat, drink and I smoke stuff
 I eat, drink and I smoke stuff
 I don’t know what to do.
