Bach, Beethoven, Mozart & Me - Phil Ochs

Pre>em f em f Every morning at the dawn dust is in the air.

Em f g am

Karen rises early, runs brushes through her hair.

Em f em f Then she buys the paper, I lay on my back,

Em f g a Then she feeds the monkey, then she feeds the cat.

Chorus:

I’ll talk, I’ll talk they live by the sea

D g Surrounded by a cemetery.

Bm a If you get tired come up for some tea

Em bm d em With bach, beethoven, mozart, and me.

Frances is the next to rise

Powders up her nose.

She’s working for the tailor

Makes the western clothes.

Andy drives a sports car

To the warner brothers ghost

He used to live in england

Now he loves the coast (chorus)

Some times a friend comes by To sing the latest song,

But david fights with susan

Nobody gets along.

Every other sunday

It’s time to make a call.

Judy has a barbecue

Play the volleyball.

(chorus)

In the evening when the sun goes down

The streets are all aglow.

We walk out on the hillside

City shines below.

We sit down for our supper

The news begins to play.

Walter he is speechless

Eric speaks cliches.

(chorus)

Andy plays a cricket game.

Frances holds a glass.

Karen reads and darns a dress.

I dream of the past.

Dark is spreading up now

Good evening, good night.

Karen turns the bed sheet.

She’s turning out the light.

(chorus)

(tag)

Em am bm em Bach, beethoven, mozart, and me.
