KILLING THE BLUES- Roly Salley
(Capo 1) Intro: E...Esus4...E...Esus4
E Esus4 E Esus4
Leaves were falling, just like embers,
E E7 A
In colors- red and gold, they set us on fire
Asus2 E Esus4 E
Burning just like moonbeams in our eyes
B7 E A
CHOURUS: Somebody said they saw me, swinging the world by the tail
A Asus2 E B7 E Esus E Esus4
Bouncing over a white cloud, killing the blues.
Now I am guilty of something...
I hope you never do
Because there is nothing
Any sadder than losing yourself in love
CHORUS
And then you`ve asked me...just to leave you
To set out on my own
And get what I needed.
You want me to find what I`ve already had.
CHORUS 2x
