Frank Black 

INTRO CHORDS:   C#  F#  E  (x4)

VERSE 1:
E           F#        C#
I've had it with this town
E       F#        B        E
I never saw those shifting skies
E       F#     C#
I never saw the ground
A             F#
Or the sunset rise
A                    E        F#      C#
I want to live on an abstract plain

VERSE 2:
E   F#         C#
I'm building a frame
E          F#     B        E
A place to put my ten-yard stare
E        F#      C#
Thinking of that paint
A*               F#*
Painted in plain air
A*                   E        F#     C#
I want to live on an abstract plain

BRIDGE:
C#m      Am
I need a new address
C#m         Am
I want some new terrain
C#             A
Is it North or South?
                     E        F#     C#
I want to live on an abstract plain

VERSE 3:
E       F#         C#
I could sit on the roof
E  F#          B        E 
On top of that abstract house
E      F#       C#
See my abstract view
A*          F#*
An abstract mouse
A*                   E        F#     C#
I want to live on an abstract plain

BRIDGE:
C#m      Am
I need a new address
C#m         Am
Tell me I'm not insane
C#          A
Is it up or down?
A                    E        F#     C#
I want to live on an abstract plain
