TITLE: Don't Do Sadness/Blue Wind, from Spring Awakening MUSIC: Duncan Sheik LYRICS: Steven Sater ORIGINAL ARTISTS: John Gallagher Jr and Lauren Pritchard TRANSCRIPTION: Andrew Marsden No-one seems to have posted all three sections together. In fact, no-one has posted the third part at all. Reduced to ukulele-playable chords, from my original guitar/piano chord sheet. Chord onset is at the beginning of the chord-as-written. The left-hand column lists the recommended chords (with fingerings), while suitable alternatives are listed to the right, where these are simpler.

Bb5                          A5
Awful sweet to be a little butterfly

     Bb5                                A5
Just wingin' over things, and nothing deep inside.

          Fmaj7                         E7
Nothin' goin', goin' wild in you, you know

                      Cadd9               Bbadd9
You're slowin' by the riverside, or floatin' high and blue.

   Bb5                         A5
Or maybe cool to be a little summer wind

      Bb5                                 A5
Like, once through everything, and then away again.

          Fmaj7                                  E7
With a taste of dust in your mouth all day, but no need to know.

     Cadd9              Bbadd9
Like sadness. You just    sail away

             Am  Em            Cadd9               Bbadd9
'Cause you know,    I don't do sadness, not even a little bit

             Fmaj7                                 Am
Just don't need it in my life, don't want any part of it

Em            Cadd9
   I don't do sadness.

           Bbadd9                                        Fmaj7
Hey I've done my time. Lookin' back on it all, man, it blows my mind.

              Am               Em
I don't do sadness, so been there.

            Cadd9              Fmaj7
Don't do sadness, just don't care.

Blue wind gets so sad,

                    Fmaj7
Blowin' through the thick corn, through the bales of hay,

            Am                  Em
Through the open books on the grass...

C          Fmaj7
Spring and summer.

D                 Dadd9
Sure, when it's autumn,
Fadd9 G Gsus2/4 Wind always wants to creep up and haunt you,
G               F
Whistlin' it's got you.

         Am                     Em
With its heartache, with its sorrow

            C             Fmaj7
Winter wind sings, and it cries.

Am         Em
Spring and summer, every other day.

  Bb                                   
Blue wind gets so pained,

                    Fmaj7
Blowin' through the thick corn, through the bales of hay,

            Am                    Em
Through the sudden drift of the rain...

C          Fmaj7
Spring and summer...
