This Side Of The Blue
Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:no capo
[Intro]
D
[Verse 1]
D
Svetlana sucks lemons across from me
D G A
And I am progressing abominably
A G D
And I do not know my own way to the sea
D G A D
But the saltiest sea knows its own way to me
[Verse 2]
D
And the city that turns, turns protracted and slow
D G A
And I find myself toeing th'Embarcadero
A G
And I find myself knowing
D
The things that I knew
D G
Which is all that you can know
A D
On this side of the blue
[Verse 3]
D
And Jaime has eyes black and shiny as boots
D G A
And they march at you two-by-two, (Re-loo re-loo);
A
When she looks at you
G D
You know she's nowhere near through:
D G
It's the kindest heart beating
A D
This side of the blue
[Interlude]
Em G C F D
Em7 G C F Bm
D G A D
[Verse 4]
D
And the signifieds butt heads with the signifiers
D
And we all fall down slack-jawed
G A
To marvel at words!
A G D
When across the sky sheet the Impossible birds
D G A D
In a steady illiterate movement homewards
[Verse 5]
D
And Gabriel stands beneath forest and moon
D
See them rattle & boo
G A
See them shake and see them loom
A G D
See him fashion a cap from a page of Camus;
D G A D
See him navigate deftly this side of the blue
[Interlude]
Em G C F D
Em7 G C F Bm
D G A D
[Verse 6]
D
And the rest of our lives
D
Will the moments accrue
D
When the shape of their goneness
G A
Will flare up anew
A G D
Then we do what we have to do, (Re-loo re-loo)
D G
Which is all that you can do
A Bm
On this side of the blue
[Outro]
D G
Oh it's all that you can do
A D
On this side of the blue
