Blue Chicago Moon
Intro
There's a little lick just before the Dm's that goes like so... it's easy to play with
your hand in the Am position... just use your pinky to hammer on the third fret.

Out of the room
blood grown heavy from his past
his wings stripped by thunder
the storms keep coming back
singing birds and sickness
sing the same blue song
when they fell out of the emptiness
they must have brought alone
oooooooo
Space is lonlyness
space is lonlyness
It's gotten so good hot in it
Even he does not admit it
That glitter rain flash in his eyes
makes him look like he might be alright
if the blues are mine
you will come face to face
with that darkness and desolation
and the endless, endless, endless, endless, endless, endless, endless, depression (he
sings it that many times)
But you are not helpless
you are not helpless
Try to beat it
Try to beat it
and live here space is lonliness
and live through space is lonliness
you are not helpless
you are not helpless
I'll help you try, try to beat it
I'll help you try, try try to beat it
I'll help you try, try to beat it
I'll help you try, try to beat it

Chorus is the exact same as the verse. In between chorus and verses He plays the intro
out of the ruins
blood grown heavy from his past
his wings stripped by thunder
but those storms keep coming back
singing birds in sickness
sing the same blues songs
when they fell out of the emptiness
they must have brought along
space's loneliness
space's loneliness
gotten so good at hiding it
even he does not admit it
that glittering flash in his eyes
makes it look like he might be alright
if the blues are you hunter
then you will come face to face
with that darkness and desolation
and the endless depression
but you are not helpless
and you are not helpless
try to beat it
try to beat it
and live through space's loneliness
and live through space's loneliness
you are not helpless
you are not helpless
i'll help you to try to beat it
