Higgs Boson Blues Uke tab by Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds

[Verse]

Bm

 

A                                G

  Can't remember anything at all

      Bm

Flame trees line the streets

A                                G

  Can't remember anything at all

                Bm

I'm driving my car down to Geneva

E7

   I've been sitting in my basement patio

Bm

   It was hot

E7                                         Bm

   Up above the girls walk past, their roses all in bloom

                   A                           G

Hey, have you ever heard about the Higgs Boson Blues?

                               Bm

I'm going down to Geneva, baby

 

Gonna teach it to you

Asus4            G                    Bm

      Who cares?   Who cares what the future brings?

E7

   Black road long, I drove and drove

  Bm

I came upon a crossroad

 

And the night was hot and black

E7

   I see Robert Johnson with a 10-dollar guitar

Bm

  Strapped to his back, looking for a tomb

Asus4                   G

      Here come Lucifer   with his canon law

      Bm

And a hundred black babies running from his genocidal jaw

Asus4                          G

      He's got the real killer groove

 

Robert Johnson and the devil, man

Bm

   Don't know who's gonna rip off who

E7

   I'm driving my car, flame trees on fire

Bm

   Everybody's singing the Higgs Boson Blues

E7                                         Bm

   I'm tired, I'm tired, I'm looking for a spot to drop

 

All the clocks have stopped

           Asus4                    G

In Memphis       in the Lorraine Motel

                   Bm

It's hot, it's hot - that's why they call it the Hot Spot

                     A

I take a room with a view

            G                                   Bm

I see a man   preaching in a language that's completely new

E7

   Making the hot cocks in the flophouse bleed

          Bm

While the cleaning ladies sob into their mops

 

The bellhop hops and bops

E7

   A shot rings out, it's a spiritual groove

          Bm

Everybody bleeding from the Higgs Boson Blues

A         G

  If I die tonight, bury me

      Bm

In my favorite yellow patent leather shoes

A                      G

  With a mummified cat  and a cone-like hat

         Bm

That the caliphate forced on the Jews

E7

   Can you feel my heartbeat?

               Bm

Can you feel my heartbeat?

 

E                                     Bm

  Hannah Montana, she does the African Savannah

 

While the simulated rainy season begins

E7

   She curses the queue at the Zulu

          Bm

And moves on to Amazonia

 

And cries with the dolphins

A

  The mama eat the pygmy

G

  The pygmy eat the monkey

    Bm

The monkey has a gift that he is sending back to you

A                          G

  Here come the missionary

                      Bm

With his smallpox and flu

A                       G

  He's saving them, the savages

                       Bm

With his Higgs Boson Blues

E7                                   Bm

   I'm driving my car down to Geneva

A                 G                Bm

  I'm driving my car down to Geneva

 

[Outro]

E7     Bm

 

E7

   Oh, let the damn day break

Bm

   Rainy days always make me sad

Asus4                    G

      Miley Cyrus floats   in a swimming pool in Toluca Lake

Bm

   The best girl I ever had

Asus4                 G                 Bm

      I'm driving my car down to Geneva

Asus4                            G

      Can you feel my heartbeat?   Can you feel my heartbeat?

Bm

 I'm driving my car down to Geneva

Asus4                                G

      Can't remember anything at all

                   Bm

Sitting here in my    basement patio

   Asus4                                G

Ahh,     can't remember anything at all

                   Bm

I'm driving my car    down to Geneva
