Biography:
Richard Shindell (born 3 August 1960, Lakehurst, New Jersey) is an American folk singer. While dividing his time between Buenos Aires, Argentina, and New York's Hudson Valley, Shindell is a writer whose songs paint pictures, tell stories, and juxtapose ideas and images.
Shindell's songwriting often involves storytelling from a first-person point of view: for example, from an INS officer and illegal immigrant in "Fishing", to a World War II soldier in "Sparrows Point"

Richard Shindell - Blue Divide
CAPO: 3rd Fret
INTRO: G D Em G C D G
D Em
Once I tried to row
G C D G
'Cause you know I hate to fly
D Em
So I set out from the coast
C D Em
But got battered by the tide
A
As I glided back to shore
D
I raised an angry oar
C G D G
And cursed that blue divide
D Em
As if it weren't enough
G C D G
To still be stranded on the wrong side
D Em
I landed in the surf
C D Em
When a breaker hit my blind side
A
And when my clothes had dried
D
I hung my head and cried
C G Bm
Beside that blue divide
C Bm
'Cause all that time I thought
C Bm
That you and I were lost
C
A toss, long fallen wide
D G D C
In that blue divide
D G D C D G
That endless blue divide
D Em
So I climbed up o___n a dune
G C D G
And found Marconi with his radio
D Em
He was looking kind of blue
C D Em
'Cause his antenna rusted long ago
A
And sitting on the cliff
D
We shared a handkerchief
C G Em
Above that blue divide
A
I waved it in the hope
D
That you owned a telescope
C G Bm
That could pierce that blue divide
C Bm
I thought I was marooned
C Bm
'Til I caught sight of your balloon___
C
Rising with the moon
D G D C
Across that blue divide
D G D C
That endless blue divide
D G D C
Across that blue divide
D G D C
That endless blue divide
D G D C
Across that blue divide
D G
That endless blue divide
