This Side Of The Blue Chords by Joanna Newsom

_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Svetlana sucks lemons _ across from me
_ And I am progressing _ _ [G] _ _ [A] abominably _
And I do not know [G]
my own way to [D] the sea
But _ _ the salty [G] sea knows [A] its own way [D] to me
_ [G] _
_ [D] _ And the city that turns, turns, _ protracted and slow
And I find myself towing [G] then back a [A] derry
_ And I find [Em] myself [G] knowing the things that [D] I
_ _ _ _ Which is all that you [G] can know on this [A] side of [D] the blue
_ _ _ _ And Jamie has eyes black and shiny as boo
And they march a choo-choo by [G] to Ray-loo, [A] Ray-loo
When she looks at [G] you, you know she's nowhere near [D] through
_ It's _ the kindest [G] heart beating [A] this side of [D] the blue _ _ _ _
_ [Em] _ _ _ [G] _ And [C] _
_ _ [F] _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ _ [Em] _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
_ [E] _ [Em] _ _ [G] _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ [Bm] _ [E] _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ [Em] _ [G] _ _ [A] _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
the _ signified's butt heads with the _ signifiers
And we all fall down slack-jaw to [G] marvel [A] at words
When across the sky [G] she'd be _ impossible
[D] _ _ _ _
_ In a steady, _ [G] _ _
illiterate [A] [D] movement _ homewards _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ And Gabriel _ stands beneath _ forest and moon
See them rattle and boon, see [G] them shake and see [A] them loon
See him fashion a [Em]
cap [G] from a page of [D] camo _
_ _ And see him _ [G] navigate deftly [B] this side [G] of the [D] blue _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Em] _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [E] _ [Em] _ _ [G] _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ [Bm] _ [E] _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ [Em] _
[G] _ _ [A] _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ And the rest of our lives will the moments accrue
When the shape of their gone-ness [G] will flare up [A] anew
Then we do what [G] we have to do, Ray-loo, [D] Ray-loo _
_ _ Which is all that you can [G]
do on [A] this side of [Bm] the blue
Oh, _ _ [D] it's all that you can [Em] do on [A] this side [G] of the [D] blue _
