BLUE CHALK
by John Gorka
From «Between Five And Seven»
C
So I wonder how she’s doing
G
I hate it when the rumors fly
Dm Am
They give off such a strange sense of mission
F G
Wing your helplessness on high
C
But she would never run from strangers
G
She sang alone like a bell will toll
Dm Am
Way above the clang and the clatter
F G
Out of fear of her demon soul
[repeat 4 bars instrumental line=bar ]
C
Maybe none of this is my business
G
And none of what I hear is true
Dm Am
I am far from mint condition
F G
Circulation’s hard on you
CHORUS
C
Hold tight, hang tough
G
Love’s not enough
Dm Am
To keep you off that stuff
F G
To save you
F
Hold tight, hang tough
Am7
Love’s not enough
Dm Am
To keep you off that stuff
F G C
To save you now
C
He could always find the holes in the bottles
G
Even with a blindfold on
Dm Am
Never kept his seat on the wagon
F G
Rolling off like a rolling stone
C
Blue chalk between his fingers
G
Hustling a poolroom song
Dm Am
He always kept a line for the singers
F G
Pointing his cue right from wrong
[CHORUS]
{Repeat first verse & chorus}
