Intro (Played in arpeggios):
Em C G D x1
Verse 1:
Em I learned how to hammer, G In the burning August sun,
I learned how to lie and cheat,
Em
How to steal and just how to run,I fell asleep most nights,
G Somebody elses blood on my tongue, your tongue, D You learn just how to run.
Chorus:
Em C But It's just the blues, Mary the blues G D Em swirl it around my head like your dreams ignoring these shoes, C G D I'm somewhere over the rainbow for you.
Verse 2:
Em I learned how to cry, G In them lonesome September nights,
I learned to get by,
Em
With the dogs and the dirt and the charm of the streetI fell asleep most nights,
G With your pictures right behind my eyes, your eyes, D The killer and the victim, alright, D Right at the same time.
Chorus:
Em C But It's just the blues, Mary the blues G D Em swirl it around my head like your dreams ignoring these shoes, C G D I'm somewhere over the rainbow for you. Em C But It's just the blues, Mary the blues G D Em swirl it around my head like your dreams ignoring these shoes, C G D I'm somewhere over the rainbow for you.
Bridge:
F#m D A And cause your smile, (And cause your smile) E F#m is pride like a rebel on the 4th of july, D A And my baby swings like a boxer, E F#m And sends her right hooks under my chin, D A She crys like a baby,(She crys like a baby) E F#m And she wears me just like a ring, D A crys like a baby,(crys like a baby) E D And she wears me just like a ring.

D
If you ever just had enough.Chorus:
Em C But It's just the blues, Mary the blues G D Em swirl it around my head like your dreams ignoring these shoes, C G D I'm somewhere over the rainbow for you. Em C But It's just the blues, Mary the blues G D Em swirl it around my head like your dreams ignoring these shoes, C G D I'm somewhere over the rainbow for you. Em C But It's just the blues, Mary the blues G D Em swirl it around my head like your dreams ignoring these shoes, C G D I'm somewhere over the rainbow for you.
