Blue Jay Way


The bass line is pretty simple and matches the rhythm of the lyrics

G|---0-------3-----6-----3-------4------------------------------------|
D|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
   There’s a fog upon L.A.

G|---0-------3-----6-----3-------4------------------------------------|
D|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
   And my friends have lost their way

G|---0-------3-----6-----6--------0-----3-------6---------------------|
D|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
   We'll be over soon they said

G|---3-------6-----9-----6-----3----9----7----------------------------|
D|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
   Now they've lost themselves instead.

G|--0--2---3---2------------------------------------------------------|
D|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
     Please don’t be long

G|---0---2---3---2--0- -2---0-----------------------------------------|
D|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
    Please don’t you be very long

G|--0--2--3--2-----------------------------------------------------------|
D|-----------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|-----------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|-----------------------------------------------------------------------|
    Please don’t be long

G|---0--3--2--0-------------------------------------------------------|
D|------------------3--2----------------------------------------------|
A|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
    For I may be asleep

G|---0-------3-----6-----3-------4------------------------------------|
D|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
   Now it only goes to show

G|---0-------3-----6-----3-------4------------------------------------|
D|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
   And I told them where to go

G|---0-------3-----6-----3-------6------------------------------------|
D|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
   Ask a policeman on the street

G|---3-------6-----9-----6-----3----9----7----------------------------|
D|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
   There's so many there to meet.

    For I may be asleep

G|---0-------3-----6-----3-------4------------------------------------|
D|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
   Now it's past my bed I know

G|---0-------3-----6-----3-------4------------------------------------|
D|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
   And I'd really like to go

G|---0-------3-----6-----3-------4------------------------------------|
D|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
   Soon will be the breath of day

G|---3-------6-----9-----6-----3----9----7----------------------------|
D|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
