Blue Guitar


4 
capo 4- D-G x3 Bm-A-G-D 
Repeat intro three times! Listen very closely to get timing right and how many times to  
strum the chord 

D                 Bm 
Once I knew a man 
        D                 Bm 
Showed me the slight of hand 
D                      Bm               D           Bm 
Blink of an eye, he danced across the strings 
        D                     Bm 
Played a song I'd never heard 
 D              Bm 
Poignant and absurd 
D                      Bm        D      Bm   A 
To this day, it leaves me wondering 
G            D 
How I wish tomorrow I was fishin 
                  A 
Boy you've got a mission 
                     D 
Shake it, rattle and roll 
G                     D 
Now, just use your intuition 
                   E 
You'll get less competition 
                         A    D 
From the clock up on the wall 



D       G 
You are what you are 
D          G 
You dream what you dream 
D           G                D            G 
Play on your blue guitar for me 
D          G 
Play me a serenade 
D          G 
A simple masquerade 
 D            G                Bm-A-G-D 
Play on your blue guitar for me 
Yeah 

 D                     Bm 
'Was he real or make believe 
D           Bm 
Someone to deceive 
D             Bm              D      Bm 
Time is just a folly we can't see 
D                    Bm 
If you only know one song 
D                    Bm 
Play it right or wrong 
D                    Bm             D       Bm     A 
The truth is always somewhere in between 
G                     D 
You and I, we can't change the weather 
                    A 
We're all in this together 
                         D 
So let the strong winds blow 
G                       D 
Now things will be much better 
                  E 
Don't become a prisoner 
                         A     D 
The reason you should know 


D         G 
You are what you are 
D           G 
You dream what you dream 
D             G              D             G 
Play on your blue guitar for me 
D         G 
Play me a serenade 
D          G 
A lover's masquerade 
 D            G                Bm-A-G-D 
Play on your blue guitar for me 


BREAk: Play the bass notes in the Bm-A-G-D progression 


G            D 
Boy I wish tomorrow I was fishin 
                  A 
Boy you've got a mission 
                     D 
Shake it, rattle and roll 
G                     D 
Now, just use your intuition 
                   E 
You'll get less competition 
                         A    D 
From the clock up on the wall 

Repeat Chorus Chords for the rest of the song 


You are what you are 
You dream what you dream 
Play on your blue guitar for me 

Play me a serenade 
A simple masquerade 
Play on your blue guitar for me 

You are what you are 
You dream what you dream 
Play on your blue guitar for me 

Play me a serenade 
Red wine or lemonade 
Play on your blue guitar for me 

You are what you are 
You dream what you dream 
Play on your blue guitar for me 

Play me a serenade 
A simple masquerade 
Play on your blue guitar for me 

You are what you are 
You dream what you dream 
Play on your blue guitar for me
