Feeling Existential - Mojo Nixon and Skid Roper

Tabbed by Adam Bishop

Em - 022000
Am - x02210
Bm - x24432
C  - x32010
D  - xx0232


Em    Am    (x4)

(play that rhythm over the verses)

Your goatee is growing in front of your fake French café
You're reading Kierkegaard under your very black beret
Smoking filterless Camels and (???)
Drinking some espresso and dropping all the names

Bm                    Am
Standing outside of a Winchells (?)
       Bm      Am       Em      Am
You're feeling very existential

Em    Am  (x3)

You dreamed that you were Whitman, Walt the poet, the bard
But you're really more like Slim, an evil tub of lard
Looking in the mirror and think you see James Dean
Now you turn to Dylan, you could have been him

C                            D
Feeling so depressed, you're looking so distressed
    Em             Am             Em        Am
And all the little girls you just want to undress
       C                            D
You're uglier than your high school principal
            Em      (Em-Am etc)
You're just feeling existential

(That progression is never played again, so the only progression aside
from
Em-Am in the rest of the song is the Bm one)

You were kicked out of the college your daddy couldn't afford
So you went out on the road in a '67 Ford
Moving to Europe you felt like Hemingway
You even loved a woman there but you found out she was gay

Man you're never gonna get rid of your pimples
You're feeling very existential

Nothing is nothing, everyone's a twit
Well it's time I sailed up, have a little fit (?)
Gonna grab your granny glasses, dressed all in black
Find your (???) gonna bring Jack Kerouac (?)

Head on down to the Winchells (?)
We're feeling very existential

You're like the center of Kirk Douglas' dimple (?)
Yeah you're inside of a Chinese temple
And your mind mind is
So so simple

Standing outside of a Winchells (?)
Feeling very existential

End on Em (arpeggio)
