James Taylor – The Blues Is Just A Bad Dream (Guitar)

  G          G6    G7       G6
A tree grows in my back yard

   C    C6       C7   C6
It only grows at night

    G        G6          G7     G6
Its branches they're all twisted

    G                G6       G7
Its leaves are afraid of light

     G6       C     C6        C7      C6
They say them blues is just a bad dream

C      C6     C7      C         G7
  They say it lives upside your head

D7(+9)                        C7
  But when it's lonely in the morning

                                        G         D7(+9)
You're bound to wish that you was lyin' dead

        G         G6      G7       G6
There's winds out on the ocean

        C            C6       C7    C6
They're blowin' just as they choose

    G                G6       G7         G6
But them winds ain't got no emotion, baby

     G         G6      G7
They don't know the blues

     G6       C     C6        C7      C6
They say them blues is just a bad dream

C      C6     C7      C         G7
  They say it lives upside your head

D7(+9)                        C7
  But when it's lonely in the morning

                                        G       D7(+9)
You're bound to wish that you was lyin' dead

        G       G6      G7       G6
My mind's ramblin' and ramblin'

        C          C6       C7    C6
Just like some a-rolling stone, no

      G                G6           G7     G6
Since that nightmare come to stay with me, baby

     G            G6      G7
My thoughts just don't belong

     G6       C     C6        C7      C6
They say them blues is just a bad dream

C      C6     C7      C         G7
  They say it lives upside your head

D7(+9)                        C7
  But when it's lonely in the morning

                                        G    Em9  A7   D9    G13
You're bound to wish that you was lyin' dead
