You can't write a novel from a briefcase
Bm G A
You can write a poem from a trench
Bm G A
You can dream a dream from A___ to B
D A G
But you can't catch a bus from a bench
You don't back a horse called Striding Snail
You don't name your boat Titanic II
So why when I see your happy smiling face
Do I always end up singing Little Blue
D G
Little Blue, how do you do
Em
Your smile looks like heaven
A D
but your eyes hold a storm about to brew
G
Little Blue

Bb Am
How can a flower so beautiful
Bb Am
be so laden down with dew

Little Blue
You can't build a brewery on a cemetery
You can build a pub on a church
And people fall quicker than buildings do
You have to decide what comes first
You don't call a plane the Flying Roman
'Cause the Romans always walked and never flew
So why when I see your happy smiling face
Do I always end up singing Little Blue
Little Blue, how do you do
Your smile looks like heaven
but your eyes hold a storm about to brew
Little Blue
How can a flower so pretty
be so laden down with dew
Little Blue
A G Bm G A
D A G
Well Bukowski wrote a story from a barstool
Bm G A
And Keats from the top of a hill
Bm G A
So I'm going to save my special song for you
D A
From a grave where it's quiet and it's chill
Bb6 Am
'Cause there's a queue of clouds assembled
Bb6 Am
On the horizon of your smile
Bb6 Am
When most think that you're holding back
G A
I know you're holding bile
Little Blue, how do you do
Your smile looks like heaven
but your eyes hold a storm about to brew
Little Blue
How can a flower so pretty
be so laden down with dew
Little Blue
How can a flower so beautiful
be so laden down with dew
Little Blue
