Killing the Blues chords
Start Jamming...
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

[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
