Chords for Pere Ubu - Oh Catherine - David Letterman

[E] _ [D] _ _ _ [N] _ _ _ _
_ _ Hi!
_ You know there was a time in my life_
Oh never mind.
_ I thought for a second you
were paying attention.
_ _ We're gonna do a_
What are we doing?
Pear Ubu will be here. _ _ _ _
_ _ These people, this band I'm told, raised money for the trip.
We couldn't pay for them to
come.
Their record label wouldn't pay for them to come.
So they raised money, their
friends and their families.
It was so important for them to come and be with us on the program.
They scraped together the airfare and flew here to be on the show.
Why wouldn't we fly
them in?
I [B] don't_
Well, look at us!
_ _ [N] What did they do?
A series of dance-a-thons or
something?
I don't know.
I think they went door to door and they had family and friends
who said, yes, we would like to see you on the show.
I'd be happy to have them here.
Yeah.
Well, maybe I'll kick in a few bucks to get them home.
I think that would be an
excellent idea.
Maybe we'll pass the hat.
Maybe we'll pass the hat.
_ _ _ Call my pharmacist.
_ _ Join us tomorrow, ladies and gentlemen.
The Commitments will be here.
That's right.
You're
saying to yourself, from the movie, The Commitments?
Yes.
_ We'll be right back. _ _ _ _

Our next guests have been making music since 1975.
This, ladies and gentlemen, right here

Please welcome, all
the way from Cleveland, Ohio, Pear Ubu.
All right, Pear. _

_ _ I'm afraid.
_ [A] I'm out [D] on the river, [E] stuck on a line.
[A] I swept [D] out and said, I [E] don't know how to get back.
[A] Like a house [Bm] on a hill, [F#m] I remember you [E] still. _
_ [A] _ _ [F#m] _ _ [E] _ _ _

_ _ _ _ _ _ [A] I'm riding a bleak train, [E] flat out onto the rails.
[A] I leaped out [D] the window, [E] slipping in cold tests.
[A] Like a house [Bm] on a hill, [F#m] I remember you [E] still.
[D] _ [A] _ [E] _ I ain't never getting home.
[D] _ [A] _ [E] But you ain't ever gonna _
[D] [A] know, [E] _ how I shattered the [D] views.
[A] _ [E] _ Cause now I'm living in the _ moment.

[F] _ [G] in the moment.
_ [A#] _ _ [C] _ _
[D] _ And now that I know, what [Bm] I used to be.
It's like I live in a dream.
_ [E] _ _ _ [A] The base in my [E] heart, the years come and go.
[C#m] The days [D] pass, the bottles [E] never grow.
[A] Like a house [Bm] on a hill, [F#] I remember you [E] still. _
_ [A] _ I ain't never [E] _ _ _
[A] getting home.
[D] But you ain't ever [E] gonna know, _
_ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ [D] _

_ _ from now on, I know how we can save this company some money.
From now on, all guests appearing on the show must pay their own way into town. _
That ain't a bad idea.
Because they did that, they show up, they have a great song, and they paid their own way.
That's it from now on.
That's how we're going to do the show.
We'll pass the savings on to General Electric. _ _
