 And a river  ran, and a train  ran, and a dream  ran through everything
 that he did
 There was melody,  there was harmony,  there was sweet  Sherrie, but it
 was melody  he loved most of all
 An ice  cube in a quiet  room melts  through an afternoon  32 in the shade
 And a books  talks, and a magazine  speaks, and a window  breaks, and a
 movie  was in his head
 It ain’t easy,  it ain’t easy,  when that love  is blue, the love  is blue
 It was a head  trip, it was a friendship,  he picked  me up when I might
 have slipped  and not done a thing
 A sly  grin, that played  to win, we will  not see his kind  again  anymore
 It ain’t easy,  it ain’t easy,  when that love  is blue, the love  is blue
 as intro)
 I write  these words to  his tune that  he wrote on a full  moon
 And a river  ran, and a train  ran, and a dream  ran through everything
 that he did
 It ain’t easy,  it ain’t easy,  when that love  is blue, the love  is blue

[A]    And a r[E]iver ran, and a tr[F#m]ain ran, and a dr[D]eam ran through [A]everything[E]
that he d[D]id
[A]    There was m[E]elody, there was h[F#m]armony, there was sw[D]eet Sherrie, but it
was m[A]elody [E]   he loved most of a[D]ll
[A]   An i[E]ce cube in a q[F#m]uiet room m[D]elts through an [A]afternoon [E]  32 in the sha[D]de
[A]   And a b[E]ooks talks, and a m[F#m]agazine speaks, and a w[D]indow breaks, and a
m[A]ovie [E]   was in his h[D]ead

It ain’t e[A]asy, [E]   it ain’t e[F#m]asy, when that l[D]ove is blue, the l[A]ove is blu[E]e [D]

[A]   It was a he[E]ad trip, it was a fri[F#m]endship, he p[D]icked me up when I mi[A]ght

It ain’t e[A]asy, [E]   it ain’t e[F#m]asy, when that l[D]ove is blue, the l[A]ove is blu[E]e [D]
