Blues Never Fade Away by Elton John
Blues Never Fade Away
Cm
Eb Bb
He wasn't famous but I sure did love him
Ab Eb
I've got his picture in a little frame
Eb Bb Ab Eb
He lost his life to a big disease before it even had a name
Fm Bb
But there's so many more and I've lost count
Gm Cm
The hows and whys aren't important now
Ab Bb
All that matters is they came around
Ab Eb
And brightened up our lives
She was twenty one with her life ahead
You don't need to know her name
She breathed her last on the cold stone floor of a Hollywood arcade
But fate's right hand isn't always just
Puts a lot of pressure on your faith and trust
She was just a little girl, ain't that enough
To rage against the day
chorus:
Ab Eb
And how did we get so lucky
Bb Cm Cm/B
Targets on the rifle range
Ab Eb
Who makes the call and who gets to choose
Bb Cm
Who gets to win and who gets to lose
Ab Eb
It's like a rolling dice in the belly of the blues
G Cm
And blues never fade away
Cm/B Ab Eb
Hey hey hey, colors run when the rain falls
G Cm
But blues never fade away
He shone so bright with a lust for life
Like the Sun King that he was
His passions hung upon his walls and were printed onto cloth
And for reasons I never understood
About the choices made between the bad and good
I've tried to figure out why
The pain never goes away
[repeat chorus]
G Cm
And there's marble markers and little white crosses
G Cm
Along the beaten path
Ab Eb
And I've spread their ashes on the wind
Bb Cm
And I miss John Lennon's laugh
[repeat chorus]
