KILLING THE BLUES- Roly Salley
(Capo 1) Intro: E...Esus4...E...Esus4
EEsus4EEsus4 Leaves were falling, just like embers,
EE7A In colors- red and gold, they set us on fire
Asus2EEsus4E Burning just like moonbeams in our eyes
B7EA CHOURUS: Somebody said they saw me, swinging the world by the tail
AAsus2EB7EEsusEEsus4 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.
