Biography:
Morphine was formed in Cambridge, Massachusetts, United States in 1990 by Mark Sandman (vocals, bass) and Dana Colley (saxophone). Jerome Dupree became the group's drummer in 1991 prior to the release of their debut album, Good. "Low Rock" is Morphine's unique combination of jazz, blues and pop/rock, sung with darkly comic and ironic lyrics. Their guitarless sound relied on an unusual combination of baritone/tenor sax, percussion and a two string slide bass.

In Spite of Me by Morphine on Cure for Pain, 1993
**Note**
Simple, plaintive, and timeless.
A protagonist reminiscing on his lost love, made even more sad by the agony he's going through.
The original track features a picked mandolin carrying the melody but these chords are a good approximation.

And I know you did it all in spite of me

Still I'm proud to have know you for the short time that I did

You seemed so close but yet so cold

For a long time I thought that you'd be coming back to me

Those kind of thoughts can be so cruel

So cruel

And I know you did it all in spite of me
