TRUE BLUE : Bright Eyes

Bright Eyes is awesome and Conor Oberst has this awesome way of just fitting this

whole song into a little blue format! Its awesome!

This is in some sort a little booster from Elmer’s(ereyes9@hotmail.com) tab he has

already made this tab but a added a little to the intro and finished out the song

for him. He deserves full credit for this so it is not my tab.

Live in a blue house on a blue street,

F C

in a blue town by a blue creek.

I write my blue songs with m blue pen.

F C

I sing the blue notes to my blue friends.

C G

I had a blue dream about a blue star.

F C

In it I drove there in my blue car.

G

And when I got there, I met a blue dog

F C

with a blue tongue, we had some real fun.

C G

We bounced a blue ball. It broke a blue glass.

F C

We banged on blue drums and called it bluegrass.

G

Guess the thing I'm trying to tell you,

F C C-C

is that it’s best kid if you're true blue.

C G

Once I had gangrene, I got it real bad.

F C

And so the Doc came with his black bag.

G

I said "You know doc, I don't feel swell.

F C

If you had a blue bag I think I'd feel well."

C G

So he came right back with a blue sack.

C G

He said, "Will this do?" I said, "Why not? Yeah."

F C

That’s how I am here today to tell you,

G C-C

that it’s best man to be true blue.

C G

Out on the blue sea I sailed a blue ship.

F C

I had a first mate, always had blue lips.

G

His name was Bluebeard.

F C

He had a weird twitch.

C G

We flew a blue flag on a big stick.

F C

And we ate bluegill and we ate blue chips.

C G

Oh, I felt real blue eating that blue fish.

F C

Because there ain't much that I won't do,

G C-C

unless it keeps me from being true blue.

C G

Once in a blue moon there’s a blue sky.

F C

I wear my blue jeans and fly my blue kite.

G

Hangs like a bluebird until the wind dies

F C

and then the tears pour out of my blue eyes.

C G

If it’s your birthday, we'll bake a blue cake

F C

and then we'll eat it off these blue plates.

G

‘cause kid I don't know much about you,

F C-C

but I like you because you're true blue.

G

Yeah, I don't know much about you,

F C-C

but I like you ‘cause you're true blue.

THANKS please rate …… 
