Key: D
Introduction:
Dm
I saw some people starving
Dm
There was murder, there was rape
Dm
Their villages were burning
Dm
They were trying to escape
Gm
I couldn't meet their glances
Gm
I was staring at my shoes
Dm
It was acid, it was tragic
Dm
It was almost like the blues
Am Gm Dm
Woo-oo-ooo It was almost like the blues
Dm
I have to die a little
Dm
Between each murderous thought
Dm
And when I'm finished thinking
Dm
I have to die a lot
Gm
There's torture and there's killing
Gm
And there's all my bad reviews
Dm
The war, the children missing
Dm
Lord, it's almost like the blues
Am Gm Dm
Woo-ooo It's almost like the blues
Dm
So I let my heart get frozen
Dm
To keep away the rot
Dm
My father says I'm chosen
Dm
My mother says I'm not
Gm
I listened to their story
Gm
Of the Gypsies and the Jews
Dm
It was good, it wasn't boring
Dm
It was almost like the blues
Am Gm Dm
Woo-oo-oo-ooo It was almost like the blues
Dm
And there is no Hell below
Dm
So says the great professor
Dm
Of all there is to know
Gm
But I've had the invitation
Gm
That a sinner can't refuse
Dm
And it's almost like salvation
Dm
It's almost like the blues
Am Gm Dm
Wooo-oo-oo-ooo It's almost like the blues
Am Gm Dm
Wooo-oo-oo-ooo Almost like the blues
Am Gm Dm
Woo-oo-oo-ooo, Almost like the blues
