Strange Street Affair Under Blue
(Beckett/Buckley)
TIM BUCKLEY
From Tim Buckley, 1966
Verse 1:
G Cm
Just for you with your open hands
F G D G
Waiting for the touch of man
(G) Cm
Clutching with your blackened gloves
F G D G
You try to capture all the doves
G D G
That flee into
Cm G
The forest before you
Verse 2:
You wish to catch and cage me now
I wonder if you remember how
Hard it was to say the names
Of mirror dreams and cheated games
And on the wall
You framed your first lover
Verse 3:
Your form intrigues me with the glow
I’ll remember you I know
Though I forgot to lock the chain
Around you with a prayer for rain
To bring the call
To drive you back into my bed
D
Ahhh….
She turns away
Telling me to follow for a while
Ahhh….
She waits
Cm D
You’d be touched if you would touch
Cm D
But you only reach and taunt
G Cm
Will my taste stay grey and blue
F G D G
If I try to turn from you
****
Listen to the song to find out how it goes.
The intro is just electric guitars over a G chord.
I could have tabbed it, but, oh well…
