Biography:
Courtney Barnett is an Australian singer/songwriter originally from Sydney, New South Wales; later moving to Hobart, Tasmania[/placeform] where she began performing music in 2006 before relocating to Melbourne in 2010.
Barnett puts a lot of effort into sounding effortless. Her songs are wild and wooly and wordy, her lyrics plainspoken and delivered like she’s making them up on the spot.
Barnett was originally a part of several bands, including Immigrant Union and The Olivettes before focusing on her solo work.

[Intro]
G F C G F
[Verse 1]
G
When I'm all alone on my own by my lonesome
F
And there ain't a single 'nother soul around
C G F
I wanna dig into my guitar, bend a blues riff that hangs
F
Over everything
G
When I'm by myself and it's daytime cuz down-under
F
Or wherever it is I live when it's evening
C G F
You know I speed-read the morning news and come up with my own little song also
F G
...too
(G) F C G F
[Verse 2]
G
When I step outside to a beautiful morning
F
Where the trees are all waggin', my hair-flag waving
C G F
The scenery ragin', my life/love cascading, and the smog hangs
F
Over everything
G
When I'm outside in a real good mood
F
You could almost forget 'bout all the other things
C G F
Like a big old ominous cloud in my periphery
[Bridge]
D F Am G
Yeah, Ahh, Mmm, Yeah
D
Don't wanna talk about it
F Am G
Simultaneous I shout it
[Verse 3]
G
When I was young I liked to hear music blarin'
F
And I wasn't carin' to neuter my jams with earplugs
C G F
But these days I inhabitate a high-pitched ring over things
F
So these days I plug em up
G
When I'm strugglin with my songs I do the same thing too
F
And then I crunch em up in headphones, cause why wouldn't you?
C G F
You could say I hear you on several levels at high decibels
F
Over everything
G F C G F (x2)
[Verse 4]
G
When I'm all alone on my own by myself
F
And there ain't another single one around
C G F
I wanna dig into my guitar, bend a blues riff that hangs...
F D
Over everything
