[Intro stays on D]

D                        G        
 Now it's just you and me, my blue 
 D
friend
D
 And you say that it's you that 
she's thinking of
G          F#7
 And our affair must end
D
 But if it's you that she's thinking
 of
G                              F#7
 I think my broken heart might mend

         G          F#m      Em  
Now it's my turn to talk and your
         D
 turn to think
G            A       D          
Your turn to buy and my turn to 
G
drink
G            F#m     Em         D
Your turn to cry and my turn to sink
G                Em
 Down in the Blue Chair
G     A           D
 Down in the Blue Chair

Now I've made up my mind
I've made my mistake
And I know that she cries for you
When she's barely awake
Well she's going to bend your mind
Well I hope it don't break

[Repeat chorus]

                 Em
Down in the Blue Chair
       F#m       G
We can watch our troubles rise
     F#m            Em
Like smoke into the air
          A         D
And drift up to the ceiling
                 Em
Down in the Blue Chair
        F#m              G        
You can feel just like a boy or a 
F#m
man
         Em             A  
And next minute you can find 
           D
yourself kneeling
                 F#m
Down in the Blue Chair
        G#m         A          
They're boasting of loving the 
G#m
daylights
      F#m        G#m          Bm
right out of her in the small hours
                 Em
Down in the Blue Chair
    F#m           G             F#m
You say that your love lasts forever
     Em           G          A    
when you know the night just hours
 A/G  A/F#     A/E
      uh ho ho ho ho ho

And still I want her right now
Not any minute, hour or day
And wherever she is tonight
I want her anyway
I suppose she never said to you,
You were just in the way

         G          F#m      Em  
Now it's my turn to talk and your
         D
 turn to think
G            A       D          
Your turn to buy and my turn to 
G
drink
G            F#m     Em         D
Your turn to cry and my turn to sink
G                Em
 Down in the Blue Chair
G     A           D
 Down in the Blue Chair
G                Bm
 Down in the Blue Chair
Bb    A           D   [N.C.]
 Down in the Blue Chair

G     A           D
 Down in the Blue Chair
G     A           D
 Down in the Blue Chair
G     A           B7
 Down in the Blue Chair

Em    F#m
  Down in the blue
G        Bm
 Blue becomes you
G     A           D
 Down in the Blue Chair




This is definitely a challenging 
one:

Here's what I got :

>         G                   F#m7
>Now it's my turn to talk and your
      C/E              D
 turn to think
>G                    A        A# 
aug       Bmi
>Your turn to buy and my turn to 
drink
>G                  F#m7     C/E
>Your turn to cry and my turn to
          D
 sink ...

C/E would just be a normal C chord 
with an open E in the bass.
(EC uses C/E a lot)

The A# augmented chord is weird and 
has something else in it,
possible an open E? My best guess 
for a fingering would be:

E string: deadened
A string: 1st finger on 1st fret
D string: 4th finger on 4th fret
G string: 2nd finger on 3rd  fret
B string: 3rd finger on 3rd fret
E string: Open

I don't know, though-I've never seen
 Elvis live-sigh-I have a laser disc
 of
The Juliet Letters, but of course he
 doesn't play guitar on that one.

The bridge is also strange-you have 
the right bassline: E F# G F# E (B) 
A D,
but I think the chord just stays on 
Emi, although some instrument other
than the guitar keeps hinting at 
D#'s

[The early 70's dylan inflections 
are beautiful in this section]

The second part of the bridge 
(boasting of loving the 
daylights...)
sounds like the first part 
transposed up a whole step, so
F#mi, F#mi/G#, F#mi/A, etc.

Then back to the Emi

and then when he says "you know the 
night just hours" [what does he
mean by that?] the bass goes: E and 
then in 8th notes: F# G F# G, still
all against some kind of Emi. I'm 
just playing the bass line and
plucking the G B and E strings open 
for the E mi
On the F#mi part, I'm barring the 
2nd fret to get the 3 highest
strings and then playing the 
bassline on the low string.

Your descending bassline coming down
 against the A chord is right, as
is the rest of the transcription.

I hope my carriage returns aren't 
coming out weird. Let me know.

Now I've got to go buy the CD to 
hear it better. I was going to
wait for the box set reissues to get
 to this album.

Does anyone know when the next box 
set is due to be released?

Looks good to me except that the 
chorus might be a bit different:

         G           F#m       Em
Now it's my turn to talk and your
          D
 turn to think
  G           A      Bbm     
Your turn to buy and my turn to
