[Verse]
Bm
A                             G
Can't remember anything at all
             Bm
Flame trees line the streets
A                             G
Can't remember anything at all
                       Bm
But I'm driving my car down to Geneva
E
I been sitting in my basement patio
Bm
Aye it was hot up above
E                                      Bm
Girls walk past, the roses all in bloom
Bm                            A                  G
Have you ever heard about the Higgs Boson Blues?
                  Bm
I'm going down to Geneva, baby
Gonna teach it to you
E                             Bm
Who cares? Who cares what the future brings?
                                 E
Black road long and I drove and drove
And came upon a crossroad
              Bm
The night was hot and black
      E
I see Robert Johnson with a 10-dollar guitar
                     Bm
Strapped to his back looking for a tomb
A                       G
Well here comes Lucifer with his canon law
Bm
And a hundred black babies running from his genocidal jaw
A
He got the real killer groove
G                      Bm
Robert Johnson and the devil, man
Bm
Don't know who is gonna rip off who
E
Driving my car, flame trees on fire
Bm
Sitting and singing the Higgs Boson Blues
E
I'm tired, I'm looking for a spot to drop
Bm
All the clocks have stopped
               A               G
In Memphis now in the Lorraine Motel
                     Bm
It's hot, it's hot - that's why they call it the Hot Spot
                        A
I'll take a room with a view
           G                              Bm
Hear a man preaching in a language that's completely new
E
Making the hot cocks in the flophouse bleed
Bm
While the cleaning ladies sob into their mops
And a bellhop hops and bops
E
A shot rings out to a spiritual groove
Bm
Everybody bleeding to that Higgs Boson Blues
A        G
If I die tonight, bury me
Bm
In my favorite yellow patent leather shoes
A                    G
With a mummified cat and a cone-like hat
         Bm
That the caliphate forced on the Jews
E
Can you feel my heartbeat?
             Bm
Can you feel my heartbeat?

A            G          Bm
Hannah Montana does the African Savannah
As the simulated rainy season begins
E
She curses the queue at the Zulus
Bm
And moves on to Amazonia
And cries with the dolphins
A
Mama ate the pygmy
G
The pygmy ate the monkey
Bm
The monkey has a gift that he is sending back to you
A                   G
Look here comes the missionary
                      Bm
With his smallpox and flu
A                 G
He's saving them, the savages
                     Bm
With the Higgs Boson Blues
A       G       Bm
E                               Bm
I'm driving my car down to Geneva
A       G
Bm
I'm driving my car down to Geneva

[Outro]
E
Oh let the damn day break
Bm
The rainy days always make me sad
E
Miley Cyrus floats in a swimming pool in Toluca Lake
Bm
And you're the best girl I've ever had
A               G               Bm
Can't remember anything at all
