Prison Blue Eyes- Chadwick Stokes
Sounds kind of like this to me
[Verse]
E
I've got to go downtown
E A
I'll miss you along the way
E C#
I'll miss your stripes, your Lilly whites
C# B
That have turned dirty grey
E
I've got to pay that bus
E A
I've got to make that fare
E C#
I miss the kiss of your crooked teeth
C# B
Miss your pixie hair
[Chorus]
A E
Cause I hate to see you suffering
B A E C# C# G# A
Don’t ever want your prison blue eyes to be sad not once
E B A
I know its not how it goes
E B A
But this worrying was undersold
E
Im gonna go down East
E A
Walk down Elliot Street
E C#
Wave to the murals with my little girl
C# B
Watch the cracks in the concrete
E
I feel the rain outside
E A
I hear the bell strike late
E C#
Is that you I hear coming off the street
C# B
Or just the wind blowing the gate?
[Chorus]
A E
Cause I hate to see you suffering
B A E C# G# A
Don’t ever want your prison blue eyes to be sad not once
E B A
I know its not how it goes
E B A
But this worrying was undersold
[Verse]
Whistling
[Chorus]
A E
Cause I hate to see you suffering
B A E C# G# A
Don’t ever want your prison blue eyes to be sad not once
E B A
I know its not how it goes
E B A
But this worrying was undersold
You can let the big E in the second line of the Chorus ring while picking the notes listed on the 2nd & 4th
