Cure for Pain
Morphine
Not a ’60s tune, but I like it anyway! In fact, the whole disk is excellent.
The noir-ish “Thursday” is a hoot; the Coen Brothers should make it into a
movie.
Intro:
[D Bm A] 4x
Verse I:
D Bm A D [Bm A]
Where ______ is the ritual,
D Bm A D [Bm A]
And tell me where _______ where is the taste?
D Bm A D [Bm A]
Where ______ is the sacrifice,
D Bm A D [Bm A]
And where _________ where is the faith?
Chorus:
C Bm [N.C] D [Bm A]
Someday There’ll be a Cure for Pain,
[D Bm A]
C Bm [N.C.] D [Bm A]
That’s the day, I throw my drugs away (Sax enters)
Sax solo over:
[D Bm A] 2X
[C Bm]
Verse II:
D Bm A D [Bm A]
Where _____ is the cave where the wise women went,
D Bm A D [Bm A]
And tell me where, where’s all that money that I spent?
D Bm A
I propose a toast,
D Bm A
To my self-control,
D Bm A D [Bm A]
You see it crawling helpless on the floor,
[Chorus]
Outro:
[Sax solo and lyrics “Find a cure, find a cure for pain” over verse chords
(4x) or until the pain is gone. End on [D] chord.]
Note: This was a strange one to write out, not because there is no guitar in
the song itself, but because of Mark Sandman’s ingenious use of pauses,
spaces and held notes. If anyone has any suggestions to clean it up...?

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official MORPHINE tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
