China Blue by Jackson C. Frank
China Blue
Tuning: E A D G B E
It's quite easy to play around with fingerpicking and add some of the basic melody, so just
feel your way around until you find a good way to play it. Maybe someone more
skilled than me can work out more of the actual tune, but for playing it on one guitar I find it ok
just to
play around between the Ds and the Gs, fingerpicking and little fills like:
D G D
e -----2-2------3p2-0--------0-0---0---3p2-0-------2-2-|
B -----3-3------------3------0-0-------------3-----3-3-|
G ---2------2--------------------0---------------2-----|
D -0----------0--------------------------------0-------|
A -------------------------2---------------------------|
E -----------------------3-----------------------------| etc.
I believe he plays a standard G chord except during the fills (as above), where the high e and B strings
are open

As often as I could call you
D G
Down in the Bureau of Mines
D A
You were all caught up in that diesel
G D
And habitual criminal signs
[Chorus]

Yesterday everything seemed to be alright
G A
'Til I woke up in the dawn
D G
My life I'd give you
D G
for one sweet day
D A
To be home
G D
again and loved

D G
You regret religion's support
D G
And I am unable to try
D A
So many have held out for glory
G D
My habits grown too hard to die
[Chorus]
A G D
Yesterday everything seemed to be alright
G A
'Til I woke up in the dawn
D G
My life I'd give you

for one sweet day

To be home

again and loved
D G
[Verse]
D G
No sense to tell us we're burning
D G
It's unexpectedly clear
D A
How that warm bed of roses keeps calling
G D
So what are you all doing here
[Chorus]
A G D
Yesterday everything seemed to be alright
G A
'Til I woke up in the dawn
D G
My life I'd give you
D G
for one sweet day
D A
To be home again
G D
and loved
[Outro]
D G until end
