The following is the correct (at least in my opinion) version of Painted
Eyelids by Beck from his K Records release One Foot In The Grave. (Excellent
album. Pick it up.) Anyway, I really disagree with the version on the olga
and at numerous other sites so here goes:
 
Intro: A (play the lowest note of the chord first then strum...just listen
to the record.)
 
A                            E
I wake up and look upon your painted eyelids
 
    F#                           E
The world is your oyster and the trash bags are your kids
 
A                                  E
The ceiling is invisible there's a bird sinkin thru the sky
 
F#                            E
And every hour that passes is teachin me how to cry
 
D                 F         A            F#
Cuz it's lonely here in the ugly part of town
 
    B                                E
The buildings are all vacant and the telephones are down
 
A                                     E
There's a police siren singing like a tiger with no skin
 
F#                               E
The sewer drain is glowing and I don't know what state I'm in
 
A                                E
And the river is on fire there's chemicals and debris
 
F#                                        E
And all the roads are blocked off they're just too hard to see
 
D                 F         A            F#
So cancel my appointments and set up a whole new show
 
B                                        E
Cuz I'm in need of a good hot meal and a life to call my own
 
(At this point Harmonica solo plays over chord progression A-E-F#-E)
 
A                              E
So get me a plate of money get me a blanket and a chair
 
F#                                    E
The limitations are limitless they're floating thru the air
 
D                 F         A            F#
Cuz it's real and it's true the things I see in you
 
B                                                 E
And there's nothin I wouldn't talk about with the clearest dream
 
                    A
that ever drifted by
 
 
Play A until fade out
 
That's it. You should get the basic idea. Just listen to the record for the
strumming pattern. Have fun.
