This is a great song from a great Kiwi band. Off the "Playground Battle" album. I notice
just about everyone apologises for their first post(this is my first.) Well, not me, man.
If you don't like my version of this song - write your own!

The Fear
by The Feelers
Am
Don't play the tortured artist with me,
C
Or you can pack up all your bags and then leave.
Am
Yea you know what I'm saying and
C G
I'm praying for you to take heed.
Am
It's like your mother was drunk all the time
C
And your brother turned to a life of crime,
Am
You fear he's lost direction,
C G
You feel he's finally lost his way
Am
Well look out on the bright side
C
Look out to the world
G F
Look out at all the boys and the girls
Am
Well look out on the bright side,
C
Look out to the world
G F
Look out at all the boys and the girls ( ye ..ea - 1st time through)

Dm
Maybe I'll dive for treasure
G
Or maybe I'll ski the world

Or maybe I'll just go live in the hills

Maybe I'll find my pleasure with

Some far eastern girl
Dm G
Or maybe I'll still be living in the hills
C G F

F C G F
He... ah he .... ah....
