Jackson Browne – Sky Blue And Black (Ukulele)

C
In the calling out to one another

       Am
Of the lovers up and down the strand

Dm
In the sound of the waves and the cries

       G
Of the seagulls circling the sand

C
In the fragments of the songs

                 Am
Carried down the wind from some radio

Dm
In the murmuring of the city in the distance

G
Ominous and low

C                     Am  
I hear the sound of a world where we played

        Dm                           G
And the far too simple beauty of the promises we made

Am               F
If you ever need holding

C             G
Call my name, I'll be there

Am              F
If you ever need holding

       C                          G
And no holding back, I'll see you through

C   Am
Sky blue and black

Dm     G
//music w/o lyrics//

C
Where the touch of the lover ends

        Am
And the soul of the friend begins

          Dm
There's a need to be separate and a need to be one

      G
And a struggle neither wins

C
Where you gave me the world I was in

      Am
And a place I could make a stand

              Dm
(And) I could never see how you doubted me

         G
When I'd let go of your hand

C         Am
Yeah, and I was much younger then

      Dm                   
And I must have thought that I'd have known

   G
If things were going to end

Am                   F
And the heavens were rolling

C                 G
Like a wheel on a track

Am                F
And our sky was unfolding

C                     G
 And it'll never fold back

C            Am
Sky blue and black

Dm     G
//music w/o lyrics//

         Am
I'd have fought the world for you

          F
(I'd have fought the world for you)

     C                    G
If I thought that you wanted me to

       Am                     G
Or put aside what was true or untrue

       C
If I'd known that's what you needed

G
What you needed me to do

C                  Am
But the moment has passed by me now

        Dm
To have put away my pride

              G
And just come through for you somehow

Am              F
If you ever need holding

C            G
Call my name, I'll be there

Am              F
If you ever need holding

       C                          G
And no holding back, I'll see you through

C
You're the color of the sky

                  Am
Reflected in each store-front window pane

Dm
You're the whispering and the sighing

      G
Of my tires in the rain

C                                           Am
You're the hidden cost and the thing that's lost in everything I do

Dm            G          C
Yeah and I'll never stop looking for you

Am
//music w/o lyrics//

Dm
In the sunlight and the shadows

        G
And the faces on the avenue

C
That's the way love is

Am
That's the way love is

Dm
That's the way love is

G            C
Sky blue and black
