Topic: Flag Of My Heart - Comfort Of Misery

Flag Of My Heart - Comfort of Misery : Unh Huh and The Yeah WhateversBluesey Rock - [url]http://www.last.fm/music/Unh+Huh+and+the+Yeah+Whatevers


[A]The flag of my heart you always will be.


[D7]I pledge allegiance to you and to me;


[E]each true blood believer and American way;


[E7]all oaths to be taken, all [E7]laws to obey.






[A7]Burdened believers, [A]afflicted with [A7]sin.


[D7addE]Dying for saviors and wars meant to win.


[B]A seasoned believer will [B7sus4]show you the way.


[E]I'm sure you'll feel [E7sus4]better once you [E]trust...


in the [D7addE]undying love of the [A]hardcore [A7]believer,


the [D7addE]unshakable faith of the [A]fools and the [A7]dreamers...[A7]


[A]stark raving sober, the [A7]man said to me,


[D7addE]i hate my life daily, i'll be grateful to be,


in the [E]presence of someone that [E7]might understand,


the [E7]son of the god of the suffering man...


give up your [E7]suicidal sainthood, don't [A7]multiply pain,


all you [E7]sanctified sinners, [A7]hymnned in by shame.


if your [A]fathers forgiveness needs [D7]blood for the plan,


wash in the [E]son of the god's, not the [E7]suffering man's


and there's [D7addE]no easy way for the [A7]hardcore believers,



when ya [D7addE]trust in the schemes of the [A7]fools and the dreamers.


when [D7addE]jubilant elation meets [A7]ultimate sorrow,


[E]catastrophes [E7]joy could take [E7]decades to swallow.


One [A7]sip at a time was 'bout [A]all i could [A7]stand,


[D7addE]only with lime and salt on my hand.


A [E]lick and a swallow, and [E7]maybe tomorrow,


[E7]i could learn how to be free...


of this [D7addE]undying love of the [A7]hardcore believers,


an [D7addE]unshakable faith of the [A7]fools and the dreamers,


a [D7addE]holy devotion to sins of [A7]the ages...


[A7]Fishnets that catch all the [A7]prime beef in town;


[D7addE]swizzle sticks clanking, [D7addE]she spins around;


[E7]the DJ booths open their [E7]hearts weight pounds...


to the comfort of [D7addE]misery,


it's a [D7addE]solace when [A7]suffering...[A] [A7]


it makes [E]way in the [E]moment and [E7]finds what folks


[E7]say can't be [A7]found.[A]


It ain't real and [D7addE]it won't last.


[D7add E]But years from now i [A7]bet they'll gasp.[A] [A7]


If they [A]can recall at [E]all, when their hearts took a [E7]fall,


for the comfort of misery...[F] [Esus4] [Amaj7]

Re: Flag Of My Heart - Comfort Of Misery

unhhuh had a listen to your song after I read the lyrics I think the lyrics are outstanding I had a little trouble understanding the words over the conversations at the club and the recording quality was not very good but this is a very good composistion I would like to hear it recorded on some good equipment with a better microphone or run your guitar and mic into a board to filter out the patrons that talk durring your performance,good work on this effort smile

Re: Flag Of My Heart - Comfort Of Misery

thanks for the feedback...

i took down the "after xmas party laundry room version"... vocals and timing both ended up more than a little off... especially toward the end.

i'm putting it back up @ http://www.last.fm/music/Unh+Huh+and+th … %2Broom...

as requested...

Re: Flag Of My Heart - Comfort Of Misery

Night and day, a huge difference I like the song when I first listened but this new recording is tons better kind of bluesy with a bit of folk, nice combination, and you sang it well goodluck with this smile

Re: Flag Of My Heart - Comfort Of Misery

I love the lyrics.
Had a listen to the song but not my sort of sound, but thas not to say it is bad.

I see these lyrics as a sort of punk song more than blues.

Just my thoughts,

Ken

ye get some that are cut out for the job and others just get by from pretending
