E7
Aching limbs, itching skin,
A sus
I cant sleep at night.
E7
Take some of my little pills,
Asus
then I'll be all right.
E7
Go to work, grab a brew
Asus
take a pill or three.
E7
Aching head, aching joints,
Asus
take this pain off me.

Pre- scription blues,
D         C9            A
its not the life to choose.

You cant win...You gotta loose.  x3

E7
Just becomes a way of life,
A sus
a habit hard to break.
E7
No matter if you want to stop,
Asus
the more you want to take.
E7
You feel so good, you get a buzz,
Asus
you know its a mistake.
E7                                                 
Find the strength to give it up,
Asus
if only for your sake.

Re: Prescription Blues

This is sadly a song of the times today. There is so much of this going on everywhere. Very nicely done Graham. Would like to hear you perform this one! Thank you for sharing!

I like it a lot.
the style you`ve written it in seems very similar
to my stuff.I felt i was reading a better version of one of my own songs.
