Nothin But Blue

This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Bm Am

I look at your picture I'm nothin but blue

I'm hearing you whisper The way you used to do

And I [Em] can't stop [D] wondering

[G] just how things might have [Am] been.

No, [F] I'm nothin but [G] blue (for the G, try using the regular fingered

F slid up two frets)

My life has no rhythm, somehow it's outta tune

I keep trying to tell them we'll be seeing them soon

But the truth keeps rushing back, guess you know what I mean

No I'm nothing but nothing but blue

[C#m] No use in [D] crying [G#5] That ain't what you would [A5] do [B5] no!

[C#m] living or [D] dying we'll just [F7] keep on fighting through [F7/A.

A] yeah!
