song by the 77s:
'the lust, the flesh, the eyes and the pride of life'
 from the cd sticks and stones
 
intro:| E  Esus4 Esus2 |  (played loosely in a riffy form)
 
VERSE 1:
     E              A                     E                   A
 well I feel like I have to feel something good all of the time

     E                                 A                  E       
 with most of life I cannot deal but a good feeling I can feel even

         A
 though it may not be real

          E                 A                E                    A
 and if a person, place or thing will deliver I will quiver with delight

      E                        A         E            A
but will it last me for all my life or just one more lonely night
 
CHORUS:(cf footnotes)
 
     B        E         A    E   B                       E
 the lust the flesh the ey...ey...eyes and the pride of life

 (A)   B              A
drain the life right out of me

GUITAR BREAK/INTERLUDE (play twice):
    D|------------4/6\4-2---|--------------4/6\4-2---|
    A|----------------------4|----------------------2--|
    E|------------------------|--------------------------|
 
CRD:  E                         A
 
VERSE 2:
well I see something and i want  it bam! 
right now no questions  asked
don't worry about  how  much you costs me now or later 
I want  it and I want it fast
I'll go to any  lengths sacrifice 
all that I already  have and all that I might get
just to get something more I don't need 
and Lord please don't ask me what for
 
CHORUS
 
GUITAR BREAK (four times)
 
VERSE 3:
well i love when folks look right at me and what i'm doing or have done
and lay it on about how groovy I am and that I'm looking grand
and every single word makes me think I'll live forever, never knowing
that they probably  won't  remember what they say tomorrow, tomorrow i could 
        be dead
 
CHORUS
 
GUITAR BREAK (three times then:)
    e|----------------|--------------|----------|-0-----|
    B|---------------|--------------|----------|-0-----|
    G|-----------2--|------------1-|--------2-|-1-----|

notes:
you may find that the chords on the chorus sound a bit weird and don't
really follow the melody. the reason for that is that there is a whole
load of guitars, mandolins, and some other weird and wonderful instruments
and they all play intricate melodies
Also the bass plays this over the first line of the chorus:
 
   G|----|----|------------|
   D|----|----|------------|
   A|-2--|----|--0---------|
   E|----|--0-|------4---2-|
 
crd:  B     E    A    E  B
 
if you add them together it sounds like the original
ALSO if anybody sees anything to add or change  e mail me
I know the lyrics must be wrong at the beginning of the
third verse so please tell me
