  			      I’m Not Even a Nurse, Robyn Hitchcock 

Clanging, Barrett-esque acoustic solo piece.      

        E      A          E            B 
I’m not even a nurse in a world with a curse 
        E      A         B 
I’m not even a doctor or knight. 
        E           A           E           B 
I can’t help you at all I just stand as you fall 
      A           E          B 
And I hope that you’re falling allright. 

(same) 
A long time ago, when we first said hello 
I thought you’d be cure right away. 
But I tried for so long, and it all came out wrong 
And you’re sicker than ever today. 



Bridge 
E                    A 
Hold hard, with your face to the wind 
         E         A        B 
And your music all over my spine 
E                   A 
Hold hard with your face coming in 
         F# 
And your mine. 

(same as first) 
So take care of your sheep and take of your sleep 
And take care of your mother and friends. 
If I see you again, I’ll explain it all then 
If I don’t, then you know how it ends.
