Blue Chalk

{tuning: Standard (EADGBE)}
S[C]o I wonder how she's doing

I[G] hate it when the rumors fly

T[Dm]hey give off such a st[Am]range sense of mission

W[F]ing your helplessness on hi[G]gh

B[C]ut she would never run from strangers

S[G]he sang alone like a bell will toll

W[Dm]ay above the c[Am]lang and the clatter

O[F]ut of fear of her demon s[G]oul

[repeat 4 bars instrumental   line=bar   ]

M[C]aybe none of this is my business

A[G]nd none of what I hear is true

I[Dm] am far from m[Am]int condition

C[F]irculation's hard on y[G]ou

{section: Chorus}
H[C]old tight, hang tough

L[G]ove's not enough

T[Dm]o keep you off t[Am]hat stuff

T[F]o save you[G]

H[F]old tight, hang tough

L[Am7]ove's not enough

T[Dm]o keep you off that s[Am]tuff

T[F]o save[G] you [C]now

H[C]e could always find the holes in the bottles

E[G]ven with a blindfold on

N[Dm]ever kept his s[Am]eat on the wagon

R[F]olling off like a r[G]olling stone

B[C]lue chalk between his fingers

H[G]ustling a poolroom song

H[Dm]e always kept a l[Am]ine for the singers

P[F]ointing his cue r[G]ight from wrong
