Another Song For A Blue Guitar

Red House Painters


Tom: Em

          D        C    B/G
She comes apart at the seams
          D/F#       G
Cause she never dreams
       D       C   B/G
As she lays up awake
           D/F#      G
Cause her feelings ache
         D        C     B/G
And the one thing she found
        D/F#          G
As she gazed at the sea
         D        C      B/G
Was that she lost her faith
    D/F#     G
Her faith in me 


[Verse]
           D     C     B/G
And in the early morning
        D/F#         G
I can't make up a thing
       D       C   B/G
And I barely can play
        D/F#     G
I don't like to sing
     D         C    B/G
So I picked up my brush
        D/F#     G
Painted blue guitar
      D           C    B/G
And I ripped off the chords
     D/F#      G
From 'Bron-Yr-Aur' 


[Verse]
      D         C   B/G
So I played her a song
        D/F#        G
But the timing was wrong
      D      C    B/G
Poor choices of chords
        D/F#       G
And the words were forced
         D         C     B/G
And the one thing that I found
      D/F#        G
As I gazed at the sea
         D        C    B/G
Was that she lost all hope
    D/F#    G
All hope in me 


[Chorus]
        D           C     B/G
And the one thing that I found
      D/F#         G
As I looked at the sea
         D        C    B/G
Was that she lost all hope
    D/F#     G
All hope for me 


[Chorus]
         D         C    B/G
And the one thing she found
        D/F#        G
As she gazed at the sea
         D        C   B/G
Was that she lost her faith
    D/F#     G
Her faith in me
