"Never Saw Blue Like That"-- Shawn Colvin
Written by Tom Kimmel, Jeff Franzel, and Mark Luna
This song can be found on the "Runaway Bride" Soundtrack.
This song is played chiefly on the piano, however, my guitar teacher and I 
have figured out the guitar chords.  The technique used on this song is just 
a basic forward roll.  I recommend on getting a copy of the song, just to 
know how the entire song is played.
*When you play the  C#mall throughout the song, play TWO forward rolls, but 
only on the bottom four strings.
* F#is ONE forward roll on the bottom four strings.
*[  E  B7] means that both chords are in the same measure.
This is one of the prettiest songs I've heaard...
Intro:      E     A9     E  B7  
E/D#Today we took a E/C#walk up the sE/Btreet
We picked a Aflower and climbed the hill above the laB7ke
ESecret E/D#thoughts E/C#were said aloud
E/BWe watched the faces in the clAouds
AUntil the clouds had blown B7away
C#mWere we ever B7somewhere else?
You knowA, it's hard to sayB7  
CHORUS:
EI never saw bAlue like that bEefore
Across the sB7ky, around the woErld
You're giving me aAll you have and mEore
            F#m  F#m/           E  B7  
No one else has ever shown me how
ETo see the world the E/D#way I see it F#now
AOh I... I never saw bB7lue like that.E.. (befoB7re)
EI can't believE/D#e a month aE/C#go
I was alE/Bone, I didn't know Ayou
I hadn't seen Ayou, or heard your B7name
And even nEow, E/D#I'm so amazE/C#ed
It's like a drE/Beam, it's like a rainAbow
It's like the rB7ain
C#mAnd some things are the waB7y they are
AAnd words just can't B7explain
CHORUS
And it Amfeels like Enow and it Afeels Ealways
                        A[   E  B7]
And it feels like coming home
CHORUS
Oh AI... I never saw bB7lue like thatE
