EmCGD
[Verse 1]
Em
I learned how to hammer,
G
In the burning August sun,
I learned how to lie and cheat,
Em
How to steal and just how to run,
I fell asleep most nights,
G
Somebody elses blood on my tongue, your tongue,
D
You learn just how to run.
[Chorus]
EmC
But It's just the blues, Mary the blues
GDEm
swirl it around my head like your dreams in Dorothy's shoes,
CGD
I'm somewhere over the rainbow for you.
[Verse 2]
Em
I learned how to cry,
G
In them lonesome September nights,
I learned to get by,
Em
With the dogs and the dirt and the charm of the street
I fell asleep most nights,
G
With your pictures right behind my eyes, your eyes,
D
The killer and the victim, alright,
D
Right at the same time.
[Chorus] (x2)
EmC
But It's just the blues, Mary the blues
GDEm
swirl it around my head like your dreams in Dorothy's shoes,
CGD
I'm somewhere over the rainbow for you.
[Bridge]
F#mDA
And cause your smile, (And cause your smile)
EF#m
is pride like a rebel on the 4th of july,
DA
And my baby swings like a boxer,
EF#m
And sends her right hooks under my chin,
DA
She crys like a baby,(She crys like a baby)
EF#m
And she wears me just like a ring,
DA
crys like a baby,(crys like a baby)
ED
And she wears me just like a ring.
[Instrumental] (x2)

[Verse 3]
Em
I learned how to swagger,
G
I learnd how to hold you while your body burned,
I learned how to compromise,
Em
While this world went hurrciane turn,
We fell asleep most nights,
G
With eachothers blood on our tongues,
My love,
D
If you ever just had enough.
[Chorus] (x3)
EmC
But It's just the blues, Mary the blues
GDEm
swirl it around my head like your dreams in Dorothy's shoes,
CGD
I'm somewhere over the rainbow for you.
