  The following is the correct (at least in my opinion) version of Painted

  Eyelids by Beck from his K Records release One Foot In The Grave. (Excellent

  album. Pick it up.) Anyway, I really disagree with the version on the olga

  and at numerous other sites so here goes:

  

  Intro: A (play the lowest note of the chord first then strum...just listen

  to the record.)

  

  A                            B

  I wake up and look upon your painted eyelids

  

      F#                           E 

  The world is your oyster and the trash bags are your kids

  

  A                                  B

  The ceiling is invisible there's a bird sinkin thru the sky

  

  F#                            E  

  And every hour that passes is teachin me how to cry

  

  D                           A

  Cuz it's lonely here in the ugly part of town

  

      B                                E

  The buildings are all vacant and the telephones are down

  

  A                                     B

  There's a police siren singing like a tiger with no skin

  

  F#                               E  

  The sewer drain is glowing and I don't know what state I'm in

  

  A                                B

  And the river is on fire there's chemicals and debris

  

  F#                                        E

  And all the roads are blocked off they're just too hard to see

  

  D                             A

  So cancel my appointments and set up a whole new show

  

  B                                        E

  Cuz I'm in need of a good hot meal and a life to call my own

  

  (At this point Harmonica solo plays over chord progression A-B-F#-E)

  

  A                              B 

  So get me a plate of money get me a blanket and a chair

  

  F#                                    E

  The limitations are limitless they're floating thru the air

  

  D                               A

  Cuz it's real and it's true the things I see in you

  

  B                                                 E

  And there's nothin I wouldn't talk about with the clearest dream

  

                      A

  that ever drifted by

  

  

  Play A until fade out

  

  

  

  That's it. You should get the basic idea. Just listen to the record for the

  strumming pattern. Have fun.
