Graham Parker - Stupefication Lyrics

Another one I find easier to play with
capo at 2. Chords mapped out as if they were open.

Intro A D A D A D F# (twice)

The sun is burning it never changes

A D A D
There's something wrong here I can't but my finger on

E A D A
Same thing same way everyday stupefaction oh yeah

A D A D
