Chords

Worked this out from Cyndi's amazing live performance on the "Cyndi In Paris", which I believe if you want you need to get imported. (Worry not - it's up on YouTube in HD though!) This song is one of her best but under-appreciated by execs at the time. As a result, not many folks know it - but verily does it rock. Intro Dm Dm/C Dm/G Dm Verse I
Bb                      C
You never knew yourself well enough, aahh

Bb                      C
But she never knew you at all

G                                 F
And when she put you out on your own

            Em         
It may have stolen your innocence

F                    G
But not, no not your soul
Chorus I
C                            Am7/E
Tell me, where is little boy bl-u-u-ue

                C        Em         F          G     F
You'll find him standing always one step ahead,     oh

C                               Am7/E
Fast a little, shy a little, boy blue

F
Wise blood runs warm and deep

       G   
On the street kids walking
Just a kid walking, just a kid Verse II
Bb                      C
You send a letter with photographs, aahh

Bb                          C
And I'll tuck them under my dreams

G                                 F
And if we wake up old beyond our years

             Em
Not quite as brave as we seem

              F                     G
It's just the pain that never disappears
Chorus II
C                            Am7/E
Tell me, where is little boy bl-u-u-ue

                C        Em         F          G     F
You'll find him standing always one step ahead,     oh

C                               Am7/E
Dance a little, cry a little, boy bl-u-u-ue

F
Wise blood runs warm and deep

       G
On the street kids walking
Just a kid walking Bridge Dm Dm/C

Dm Verse III

And when she put you out on your own

            Em         
It may have stolen your innocence

F                    G
But not, no not your soul
Chorus III
