[A]
[D] [Am] It's called [Dm] Rusty Blue.

[D]
How [Dm] can I sweep
[C] these [A] words into [Dm] a cluster?
[A]
Put them in a pile like feathers on [Dm] your floor.
[C] [G] [D]
Voyages in the sea forest, [C] deep [D] blue and rusty.
[A]
Sew [D]
them in a satchel and leave them at your door.
[C]
People's [Dm] lives, people's [C] lives, [Dm] [G]
fascinate [A] me.
All my [Dm] life, all my life, I wanted to understand.
[G] [Dm]
[G]
[Dm] [A]
[Dm] [C]
[D] There's a man on the [A] corner, he's got the moon in his eye.
He just [D] comes [Dm] in to visit and [A] [D] he wears a disguise.
[Dm]
And I wonder if he's [D] looking for friends or for truth.
[Dm] [D] Think he's [C] calling for [A] someone in that [D]
[A] telephone booth.
And the smiling woman answers.
She defeats fear with her eyes.
She thinks life's fine, so I think she's wise.
[C] And [Am] my heart wants to give her [G] a gift [F] so grand
[G] that it [C] will speak for [F]
me [A] and [F] tell her just where I stand.
[A] And [Dm] I stand on a pillar and [G]
it's [Dm] melting like ice.
[A]
Of years that I lived, some [Dm] I lived twice.
[A]
[Dm] And I have all these [A] feathers and leaves on my floor
that [Dm] I don't want just blowing
[G] around
[Dm] loose anymore.
And [B] I feel a need to gather, to rummage and fetch,
to shake out my life and give it a stretch.
To [D]
bring shells to the surface,
[G]
give them to [D] you.
[G] Gifts from the sea, fluorescent [Dm]
blue.

[G] [D] Now these two lives [Dm]
[C] [Dm] hold my attention quite well.
See, lives almost never
[G] [Dm] run parallel.
[D] Like the boards [Dm] and the flooring, [C]
all deep [Dm]-grained and worn.
[G]
[Dm] Faded [A] and fettered long before we were [Dm] born.
[A]
[C]
People's [Dm] lives, [Bm]
people's [C] lives, [Dm]
[E] fascinate me.
[C] All my life, [D] all my life, [C]
I [D] wanted to understand.
[G]
[Dm] [D]
Understand.

Thank you.
[N] Love doing that new stuff.
Now I got some more guys I want you to meet.
[C]
A [Eb] man who has played with me for many, many years.
He's played with Crosby, Stills & Nash.
He's played with Stephen Stills.
He's played with a [Eb] lot of people.
He's a fantastic singer [B] and my friend, Mike Finnegan.
[Db] [Eb]
[N]
Man standing right on my left is one of the best singers in the [Eb] city.
He is a great singer.
He is in what I think is the best vocal band in America [G] right now.
It's called [E] Venice.
His name is Kip Lennon.
[Gb]
Behind [A] me, and I know a lot of [Dm] drummers, behind me is my favorite [E] drummer.
[Bb] His name is Jody Cortez.
