Sky Blue and Black Chords by Jackson Browne

_ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
[Am] _ _ [F] _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
[Am] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ [F] _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ [C] In the calling out to one [Am] another and the lovers up and down the strand
[F] In the sound of the waves and the cries of the seagulls circling the [C] sand
In the fragments of the songs [Am] carried down the wind from some radio
[F] In the murmuring of the city in the [C] distance ominous [G] and low
[C] Ah, in the [Am] sound of a world where we play
[F] And the far too simple beauty [C] of the promises [G] we made
[Am] If you ever [F] need holding, _ [C] call my name [G] and I'll be there
[Am] If you ever [F] need holding, [C] no holding back, [G] I'll see you through
_ [C] Sky _
_ _ [Am] blue and [F] black, _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ [G] _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ [Am] _ _ _ [F] _ _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ [G] _ _ [C] where the touch of the lover ends [Am] and the song of a friend begins
[F] There's a need to be separate and a need to be [C] one and a struggle, [G] need the wind
[C] But you gave me the world I was [Am] in, the place I could make a stand
[F] I could never see how you doubted me [C] when I let go [G] of your hand
[C] Yeah, I [A] was much [Am] younger and [F] I must have thought that I would [G] know if things were gonna end
_ [Am] _
And the heavens [F] were rolling _ [C] like a wheel on [G] a track
_ _ [Am] _
And our sky [F] was _ _ [C] unfolding and it'll [G] never grow that sky
[C] _ _
_ _ [Am] Sky blue and black, [F] _ _
_ [G] I'd [C] _ _ _ _ _

_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ [Am] _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
[F] _ _ [C] _ _ [G] _ [F] have bought the world for [C] _ _ [G] you
[F] If I thought that you wanted [C] me, _ [G] thought [C] what a sad life was true or untrue
[G] _ _ [C] _
That's what you needed, what [G] you needed me [C] to do
But the [Am] moment has passed by me now, do [F] I put away my pride and just [C] come through for you [G] somehow
[Am] _
If you ever [F] need holding, _ [C] call my name [G] and I'll be there
[Am] If you ever [F] need holding, no [C] holding back, [G] I'll see you through [G] Sky
[C] You're the color of the sky [A] reflected in each [Am] door, front window pane
[F] You're the whispering and the [C] sighing of my tired [G] and the rain
[C] You're the hidden cost and the thing [Am] that's lost in everything [F] I do
Yeah, [G] _ _ I'll never stop looking [C] for you
[C] _ _ [Am] _ _ _ [F] In the sunlight and the [G] shadows and the faces on the [C] avenue _ _
_ [Am] That's the way love [F] is, _ _ that's the way [G] love is, [C] _ _ that's the [Am] way love is
_ [F] _ Sky, _
[G] sky blue and [C] black _ _ _
