Those Swollen Hand Blues Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I can't see the wood for the trees
Life is like a roller coaster
I can't find the birds or the bees
Hope they're down the back of my sofa

[Verse 2]
Feeling like a rolling stone
Playing the guitar on my own
I'm the apple of my eye
If only I could keep myself sober I'd remind myself why

[Verse 3]
They stare at me wherever I go
Why won't everybody give up, no
I wish I'd learn to play piano
If only I could get myself sober for more then one day

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
