Jaina Blues
Available on: Listen/Buy:
Lyrics: I’m working on my Maitri It doesn’t matter who you are Just only that you’re living I’m trying so hard
I’m working on Pramoda I can’t say I’ve gone as far I’m so happy now to see you Yeah, you soul star
That’s the Jaina blues (x4)
I’m working on my Karuna I’m gonna help you through this part Nothing’s gone your way it seems You’re trying so hard
That’s the Jaina blues (x2)
I never dreamed That this would be So hard
I’m working on Madhyastha I won’t finish what you start I’m not trying to listen Yeah, I’m trying so hard
That’s the Jaina blues (x2)

Quotes: "Jaina is one of those Keith Richards tunings...Dave Philips showed me...can't remember right now. Actually I gotta learn it again if we're gonna do the song...guess I could play it differently." -Frank Black Posted on the FrankBlack.Net forum Sept. 17, 2003
