[Intro]
G D C G D
G D C G
Me and my shadow we're never apart
C G Am7 D
We know the blues by heart
G D C G
We sing them in the morning with the sun on the rise
C G Am7 D
Sing them at night to star studded skies
C G Am G
And I'm not crazy though it looks that way
C G Am7 D
It's just that me and my shadow like to play
G D C G
Blue songs on a red guitar
C G Am7 D
Me and my shadow do a fine routine
G D C A A7
And it's taking the aching right out of my heart
C D G
Playing blues on a red guitar
G D C G
Well I talk to the walls, but the walls never hear
C G Am7 D
My pillow won't dry up none of my tears
G D C G
But when the night comes down and my shadow comes out
C G Am7 D
She knows what all of this heartaches about
C G Am G
And I'm not afraid of the darkness you see
C G Am7 D
It's only my shadow that's following me - singing
G D C G
Blue songs on a red guitar
C G Am7 D
Me and my shadow do a fine routine
G D C A A7
And it's taking the aching right out of my heart
C D G
Playing blues on a red guitar
Am7 Em7
And I will not be denied my sorrow
Am7 G
I've earned the right to feel his way
Am7 Em7
Maybe I will change my tune tomorrow
A A7 Am7 D
But just tonight I think I'll play
G D C G
Blue songs on a red guitar
C G Am7 D
Me and my shadow do a fine routine
G D C A A7
And it's taking the aching right out of my heart
C D G
Playing blues on a red guitar
G D C A A7
And it's taking the aching right out of my heart
C D G
Playing blues - on a red - guitar
G D C G D G
Enjoy ~ John Kerry
