Blow Away For Bill

• Emaj7

BLOW AWAY by Kate Bush (1980)
"chorded" by Levchek

A splendidly convoluted chord progression written in 
memory of lighting director Bill Duffield who passed 
away during the Bush's 'The Tour Of Life' back in 1979.

Emaj7      F#/G#
One of the band
C#m7        C#/D#  
Told me last night
  G#m        A#m     C#m 
That music is all that he's
   C#/D#
Got in his life

  Emaj7            F#/G#
And where will it go?
    C#m7         C#/D#  G#m/B
Surely not with his soul?
   G#m        A#m        C#m
Will all of his licks and his R'n B
C#/D# 
Blow away?

Emaj7  C#m9

 Blow away
G#m9   C#m9
 Blow away
G#m9   C#m9 
 Blow away

Emaj7    F#/G#
Our engineer
C#m7          C#/D#
Had a different idea
    G#m       A#m        C#m
From people who who nearly died
  C#/D#
But survived

Emaj7        F#/G#
Feeling no fear
  C#m7         C#/D#      G#m/B
Of Leaving their bodies here
  G#m     A#m            C#m
And went to a room that was soon full
C#/D#
Of visitors:

Aah 
Emaj7      E/F#
Please don't thump me

Don't bump me
C#/D#    G#
I want to stay here

Emaj7        F#/G#
Put out the light
C#m7       C#/D#
Then put out the light
G#m        A#m       C#m
Vibes in the sky invite
  C#/D#
You to die

Emaj7   F#/G# 
Dust to dust
C#m7   C#/D#
Blow to blow
G#m      A#m  C#m
Bolan and Moony are
     C#/D#
Heading the show

Tonight

Emaj7  C#m9
 Blow away

 Blow away
G#m9   C#m9
 Blow away
