Blues Never Fade Away

Transpose0

He wasn'tEb famous but I sure did lBbove him

I've got his Abpicture in a little fEbrame

He lost his Eblife to a big diBbsease before it eAbven had a name Eb

But there's Fmso many more and BbI've lost count

The hGmows and whys aren'tCm important now

All that Amb5matters is they came arBbound

And brightened up our lives Eb

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

And Abhow did we get so lEbucky

BbTargets on the rifle ranCmge Cm/Bb

WhoAb makes the call and Ebwho gets to choose

BbWho gets to win and whCmo gets to lose

It's like aAb rolling dice in theEb belly of the blues

And Gblues never fade aCmway

Cm/BbHey hey hey, Abcolors run when the Ebrain falls

But Gblues never fade awaCmy

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

Chorus

And there's G/Bmarble markers and Cmlittle white crosses

AG/Dlong the beaten Cm/Ebpath

And I've sAbpread their ashes Ebon the wind

And I mBbiss John Lennon's lCmaugh

And Abhow did we get so lEbucky

BbTargets on the rifle ranCmge Cm/Bb

WhoAb makes the call and Ebwho gets to choose

BbWho gets to win and whCmo gets to lose

Chorus
