Mr Blue by Joni Mitchell


          Mr Blue 


Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:no capo

F#
What's the story, Mr. Blue
 
Did she pull the rug from under you
 
Did she chop your dreams up two by two
   C#
And kick them out the door
F#
I could sympathize you, son
 
But pity words stick to my tongue
 
And sorry words have all been sung
   C#
So many times before
 
B       F#
Oh, Mr. Blue, you blew your chances long ago
B       F#
Oh, Mr. Blue, you're through
     B               A      F#
Quit acting like you didn't know
 
F#
Hang on one more day or two
 
Then I promise I'll be laying you
 
Odds that she's found someone new
          C#
While you stand around and rust
F#
She don't need no part-time man
 
With no part-time answer understand
 
She don't want an hour's fall of sand
       C#
For a lifetime full of dust
 
B        F#
Oh, Mr. Blue, you blew your chances long ago
B       F#
Oh, Mr. Blue, you're through
     B                A     F#
Quit acting like you didn't know
 
F#
Mr. Blue, you missed the shot
 
Didn't turn out quite the way you thought
 
It would, I'll bet, cause you got caught
                   C#
Out playing Donald Juan
F#
She's got polish, she's got class
 
And someday when on the street you pass her house
 
You'll wonder why the grass
                     C#
Looks greener on her lawn
 
B        F#
Oh, Mr. Blue, you blew your chances long ago
B       F#
Oh, Mr. Blue, you're through
     B               A     F#
Quit acting like it isn't so
