capo 2 — sounds 2 semitones higherSong
Aadd9 x77600, Badd11 x99800
Use your middle, 3rd and 4th finger to keep your index finger free to
hammer-on the 2nd string at the 5th fret, moving between A and Aadd9.
Then slide that chord shape up 2 frets and do the same again. The open
e string ensures that the chord remains Badd11.
Intro
Verse 1
I was happy in the haze of a drunken hour
But heaven knows I'm miserable now
I was looking for a job, and then I found a job
And heaven knows I'm miserable now
Chorus
In my life
Why do I give valuable time
To people who don't care if I live or die?
Instrumental
Verse 2
Two lovers entwined pass me by
And heaven knows I'm miserable now
I was looking for a job, and then I found a job
And heaven knows I'm miserable now
Chorus
In my life
Oh, why do I give valuable time
To people who don't care if I live or die?
Instrumental
Verse 3
What she asked of me at the end of the day
Caligula would have blushed
"Oh, you've been in the house too long" she said
And I naturally fled
Chorus
In my life
Why do I smile
At people who I'd much rather kick in the eye?
Instrumental
Verse 4
I was happy in the haze of a drunken hour
But heaven knows I'm miserable now

And I naturally fled

Oh, why do I give valuable time
To people who don't care if I live or die?
