If You Could Save Yourself Youd Save Us All Chords

   
"If You Could Save Yourself (You'd Save Us All)" by Ween
From the album "Quebec"


Pretty song...

INTRO (Play this chord progression once): F-A7-D-Bb

VERSE I: (I'm not entirely sure about the E7, but it sounds acceptable enough while 
the song...any corrections are definitely welcome.)

D                            E7
On a free ride home from the embassy
          A7                E7     A7      D
I saw the governor, and his lover, holding hands
D                         E7
When I got to my place, I emptied my suitcase
    A7         E7 A7   D
And opened the windows wide


CHORUS: (No chord until "save")
             F                            A7
If you could save yourself, you'd save us all
                 D                                 Bb
Is that what you called me for, is that why you're knocking on my door
    F                                  A7
The time I've spent, working myself to death
                        D                     Bb
Thought that's what you wanted, I thought you needed my help
           F                       A7
To make it good again, to makes us strong
            Bb                 F
To make you happy, to push you along
                                      A7
And gain some respect, to be thrown a crumb
            Bb                        F
I was on my knees when you knocked me down

VERSE II:
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/w/ween/if_you_could_save_yourself_youd_save_us_all_crd.html ]
D
The wheels fell off, the bottom dropped out
    E7
The checks all bounced, I came in your mouth
     A7                      E7        A7     D
Your mother came calling but there was no one around
D
The trash caught fire when the leaves turned brown
    E7
The vultures were circling when the circus left town
  A7                    E7          A7           D
I left you a note but I wrote it in disappearing ink...

CHORUS:

            F                            A7
If you could save yourself, you'd save us all
                 D                                 Bb
Is that what you called me for, is that why you're knocking on my door
    F                                  A7
The time I've spent, working myself to death
                        D                     Bb
Thought that's what you wanted, I thought you needed my help
           F                       A7
To make it good again, to makes us strong
            Bb                 F
To make you happy, to push you along
                                      A7
And gain some respect, to be thrown a crumb
            Bb                        F
I was on my knees when you knocked me down

~Outgoing chord progression (during keyboard solo):
F-A7-Bb(Bb is held for awhile, listen to the song)-F
~or~
F-A7-Bb (again, held awhile), then play this descending progression, strumming each 
once: Bb, Am, Gm, F (Although I think this sounds a bit corny...up to you.)
