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
DmAm
They give off such a strange sense of mission
FG
Wing your helplessness on high
C
But she would never run from strangers
G
She sang alone like a bell will toll
DmAm
Way above the clang and the clatter
FG
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
DmAm
I am far from mint condition
FG
Circulation's hard on you
CHORUS
C
Hold tight, hang tough
G
Love's not enough
DmAm
To keep you off that stuff
FG
To save you
F
Hold tight, hang tough
Am7
Love's not enough
DmAm
To keep you off that stuff
FGC
To save you now
C
He could always find the holes in the bottles
G
Even with a blindfold on
DmAm
Never kept his seat on the wagon
FG
Rolling off like a rolling stone
C
Blue chalk between his fingers
G
Hustling a poolroom song
DmAm
He always kept a line for the singers
FG
Pointing his cue right from wrong
(CHORUS)
