Everybody's Sometime And Some People's All The Time Blues


It's late in the
evening, and the weather is
cold. I'm beginning to 
miss you, and that story's so
old. Well I know I've been
knocking my head on the 
wall. And I must have been
crazy to leave you at 
all.
Oh no no
Strange kind of
blues-coloured
moon.

Shines in the 
middle of my
room

Sometimes I'm 
burning with a vision so bright
That it brings on the sunshine
In the middle of the night
And all those musical ladies
And the crazy young men
They are trying to make music
Together again? Oh no no
And a strange kind of blues coloured moon
Shines in the middle of my room.

(2nd verse used on the live album "Turn the Lights Down"... ...
Sometimes I'm 
burning with a vision so bright
That it brings on the sunshine
In the middle of the night
We all look for pleasure
Some find it in pain
But we all let out treasure
Slip right down the drain (oh yeah)
Strange kind of blues coloured moon
Shines in the middle of my room.)

    Chords given in the form xxoo4o2 (Bm) represent the frets stopped on each of the six strings of the guitar, lowest pitch on the left, highest pitch on the right, with standard tuning EADGBE. A t means that the thumb is used to fret the low E string. An x means that this particular string is not played, or damped, and an o means that it is open (no fret is fingered for that string - or, if you like, the "zeroth" fret is stopped). A 4 (for example) means that a finger is placed on fingerboard behind (towards the tuning-peg end) the 4th fret. Or, if you like to think of it that way, in the 4th "space" between frets. (Most guitars have mother of pearl dots inlaid behind the 3rd, 5th 7th, 9th and 12th (octave) frets.)
