Killing the Blues Chords by John Prine

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Leaves were falling _ just like embers _
_ _ In colors red and gold
Set us on [D] fire _ _ _ _
Burning just like [A] a moonbeam
In our eyes
_ _ [E] Somebody said they saw me
_ _ [D] Swinging the world by the tail
Bouncing over a [A] wet cloud
Killing [E] _ _
_ [A] the blues _ _ _ _
I am guilty _ of something
I _ hope you never do _
Because there [D] is nothing _ _ _ _ _
Sadder [A] than losing
_ Yourself in love
_ _ [E] Somebody said they saw me
_ [D] Swinging the world by the tail
Bouncing over [A] a wet cloud
_ _ [E] _ _
Killing [A] the blues _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [E] Somebody said they saw me
_ _ [D] Swinging the world by the tail
Bouncing over a [A] wet cloud
_ _ [E] _
Killing [A] the blues
Now _ _
[D] you [A] ask me
_ Just to leave you
_ _ To go out on my own
And get what I [D] need to
You _ _ _ want me to [A] find
What I've already had _
_ _ [E] Somebody said they saw me
_ [D] Swinging the world by the tail
Bouncing over a wet [A] cloud
Killing [E] _ _
_ [A] the blues _ _ _ _
_ _ [E] Somebody said they saw me
[D] Swinging the world by the tail
Bouncing over [A] a wet cloud
Killing [E] _ _
_ [A] the blues _ _ _ _
_ _ [E] Somebody said they saw me
_ [D] Swinging the world by the tail
Bouncing over [A] a wet cloud
_ _ _ [E] _
Killing the blues _ _ _ _ _
_ [E] Somebody said they saw me
_ [D] Swinging the world by the tail
Bouncing over a [A] wet cloud
