Robyn Hitchcock - The Abandoned Brain Chords

[Key of Eb, capo 3]

C fade in

C                        Am
I'm sitting here in the abandoned brain 
F                    Dm
Waiting for take-off in it 
     C                    Am 
They say it's never gonna work again 
    F                 Dm
But I can spare a few minutes 
     C                   Am 
Been here before in the abandoned brain 
        F                     Dm
There's flowers on all the controls 
    G                      Am        F
The tape keeps telling me again and again 
     Dm                 F 
That I am the keeper of souls 

C Am F Dm

    C                       Am 
The wind blows hard on the abandoned brain 
            F                  Dm
But there's nobody thinking at all 
    C               Am 
The hypothalamus is open to the rain 
        F                     Bb
And the leaves sweep into the hall
        G                   Am
There's no one else in the abandoned brain 
    F                      Dm
But that's not necessarily bad 
   G                        Am    F
It feeds on itself but it's not insane 
     Dm                    F 
This brain's too old to go mad 

C Am F Bb

C                   Am 
Roses bloom in the abandoned brain 
    F                        Dm
And thoughts run wild on the floor 
       C                    Am 
Like a headless corpse, a derailed train 
          F                Bb
Who could ask for anything more? 

    G                    Am
I'm sitting here in the abandoned brain 
F                    Dm
Waiting for take-off in it 
     G                       Am    F
They say it's never going to work again 
    Dm                F         C
But I can spare a few minutes
