Buffalo Tom : Blue (written by Matt Piucci)

This is the B side to the Sunflower Suit 7" Single and a B side track

on the Crawl 12". I think its also on the CD reissue of their first

album 'Buffalo Tom'.

This song is played on the accoustic and is mainly just strumming D and

Dsus2. I havent tabbed out this strumming, just alternate randomly

and it sounds fine. I have annotated this strumming as D<->Dsus2.

Chords Used

D Dsus2 C G

E-|--2---0-------0----3----|
B-|--3---3-------1----0----|
G-|--2---2-------0----0----|
D-|--0---0-------2----0----|
A-|--X---X-------3----2----|
E-|--X---X-------X----3----|

The song is as follows -

===> Verse 1

D<->Dsus2

Its blue, down my street

C G D<->Dsus2

Just like people you might meet

D<->Dsus2

Its true, on her face

C G D<->Dsus2

The loneliness you cant escape

C G D<->Dsus2

and who could ever retake her place

===> Verse 2 and 3

D<->Dsus2

She wore, a little ?????

C G D<->Dsus2

Seemed like life had just begun

D<->Dsus2

found out, on the phone

C G D<->Dsus2

then we knew we were all alone

C G D<->Dsus2

and all our tears wouldnt bring her home

===> After verse 3 play the following 4 times

C G D<->Dsus2

and all our tears wouldnt bring her home

===> Between the verses strum D<->Dsus2

===> After the verses continue strumming D<->Dsus2 and then

===> to finish play the following

let ring let ring let ring

E-|-0---------0-0-0-3-------------2-------------------------------|
B-|-1---------1-1-1-0-------------3-------------------------------|
