| Blue Guitar Lyrics by Townes Van Zandt and Michael Timmins Music by Michael Timmins Introduction on Verse I [D] wish I had a blue guitar, A [C] blue guitar to play [D] all night long. Singing songs of loss and love. [C] Singing songs [Bm] [Am] till morning [D] comes. [Em] Ghosts in the [C] basement [Bm] screams from the [D] kitchen I tell you folks I [Em] think I’m [D] leaving. [Em] Seems I can al- [C] ready [Bm] hear the door [D] slammin’ I tell you folks I [F] think I’m [D] leavin’. Guitar Solo in D I [D] wish I had a blue guitar, A [C] blue guitar to play [D] all night long. Singing songs of loss and love. [C] Singing songs [Bm] [Am] till morning [D] comes. Guitar Solo in D Good- [Em] bye to the [C] highway [Bm] goodbye to the [D] sky I’m headed out good- [Em] bye, good- [D] bye. Good- [Em] bye to the [C] highway [Bm] goodbye to the [D] sky I’m headed out good- [F] bye, good- [D] bye. I’m headed out good [F] bye, good [D] bye. I’m headed out good [F] bye, good [D] bye. I wish I had a blue guitar, A [C] blue guitar to play [D] all night long. I wish I had a blue guitar, A [C] blue guitar to [Bm] let you know some [Am] how You are not needed [D] now. Tabbed by Brian Davies I play this with the same eerie chord voicings that I use for the title track from Lay It Down. Try playing D as x077x5 and just sliding that form up and down, so C is x055x3, etc. You can play the second string open on the E chord, but the rest of the time it sounds better muted. |
