Intro: Em  F  Bm C  Am  D 

verse 1 
Em               F                    Bm    C   
Am  D 
Memory's stain appeared to you in the bath 
Em                   F                   Bm    C   
Am  D 
Memory's stain, body laundered, Soul it hath 
Em        F 
I have a confession 
Bm      C        Am     D 
in the form of a question: 
Em            F 
How could you entertain 
Bm      C         Am    D 
trading know-how for a stain? 

Chorus 
C 
Look now, I'm no better 
C 
Look now, our thrift sweater 
             Bm 
pulled over you 
Bm 
Look now, look now 
C 
Look now, how wide are the holes! 
C 
Look now, the power it holds 
      Bm 
over you 
Bm 
Look now, look now 
Bm               A 
Well, I'll be damned! 
         Em            F  Bm C  Am  D 
A calf is easy to brand 

verse 2 
Em               F                          Bm    C   
Am  D 
Memory's stain; you're not content with my answer 
Em                  F                    Bm    C   
Am  D 
Memory's stain; on the cusp of Gemini and Cancer 
Em                    F 
You're not bored, just sleep deprived 
Bm    C         Am         D 
drunk on jealousy and pride 
Em            F 
Boozing is the highest aim 
Bm        C              Am            D 
when spittle won't get out Memory's Stain 

Chorus 
C 
Look now, I'm no better 
C 
Look now, our thrift sweater 
             Bm 
pulled over you 
Bm 
Look now, look now, 
C 
Look now, how wide are the holes! 
C 
Look now, the power it holds 
      Bm 
over you 
Bm 
Look now, look now 
Bm               A 
Well, I'll be damned! 
          Em              Bm   A 
A calf is easy to brand 

OUTRO 
Em  Bm  A 'till end
