It’s nice to have a song turn out like you wanted it to for a change. Henri Matisse was recorded with no resistance from my set up, and I’m pleased with the final product. For our purposes Henri is pronounced “Henry.”

Verse & Solo Rhythm Guitar: E->Esus
Chorus: A-Asus (Sometimes Asus/d)
Lead guitar parts in E major Penatonic, around frets 9-14.
I was Henri Matisse
I sold all my paintings
to please satan
I wish I was a stork
I’d wade in the grass
and skewer the shrimp
Chours:
I know you’re alone
I know you’re not dead
I know you’re asleep
I’ve got the high card
I’ve got higher ground
I hope you don’t mind
I was Henri Matisse
I met handsome women
and painted them nude
I wish I was a lamb
I’d grow my own warmth
and eat all the moss
Chorus:
I know you’re alone
I know you’re not dead
I know you’re asleep
I’ve called shotgun
I’ve got first dibs
I hope you don’t mind
I was Henri Matisse
I swam in the sea
I blurred all the lines
I wish I was a dog
I’d chase the fox
and bark at the door
Chorus:
I think you’re asleep
I think you’re asleep
I think you’re asleep
Slow soloing in E major pentatonic c. 9-12th frets
I’ve still got pride
I’ve still got a wound
I hope you’re asleep
I was Henri Matisse
I sold all my paintings
just to please satan
