Now Blue is known around the town as a real decent bloke.

         G                            D                                           A7
He could take it on the chin when the chips were down, and he could always take a joke

    D                               A7                 G             D
You could pick him for miles by his friendly smiles He always gave a few.

         G                          D                  A7                D
With the colour of his hair, he had names to spare but we all called him Blue.

A7   D                  A7                      G               D

                        A7               G                A7
We all feel better when you're around so drag yourself up here.

       D                            A7                      G             D
You're never on the bite and you're never a skite You're as dinkum as can be.

         G                       D                    A7               D
You're a good mate Blue, and I'm tellin' you, you can have this one on me."

       D                A7            G                  D
When I stand around and listen to the things that people say,

  G                    D                                      A7
I reckon if there were more like Blue, we would be better off today.

         D                     A7                G              D
When the boots go in Blue will give the grin an' give it to you straight.

   G                   D                          A7             D

      G                 D               A7                D

    D                     A7                  G              D
