A message over telephone Awires of great urgency,
Rolling aDlong like ball lightning so fAuriously.
Safety fAirst they keep calling
Oh, you kDnow they're going to have to do some pAraying
TAhey called him bDlue trouble since he was Aborn,
TAhe signs were Dup, boy, you'd better be Awarned,
BAut to yoGu his blue trouble it's as Dwarm as kerAosene.
KerAoseDne, keroAsene,
ABut to yGou his blue trouble it's aDs warm as keArosene.
IAce melts straight away in the palm of his hand
He feels nDo cold, no sun, he's only ever bAelonged to one.
HeA's walked through valleys where trees no longer grow
WhAere the land is pDarched and it crackles as he Awalks along.
AThey called him Dblue trouble since he was Aborn,
TAhe signs were Dup, boy, you'd better be Awarned,
BAut to yoGu his blue trouble it's as Dwarm as kerAosene.
KerAoseDne, keroAsene,
ABut to yGou his blue trouble it's aDs warm as keArosene.

Chords in this song · guitar

A message over telephone wires of great urgency,

D A

Rolling along like ball lightning so furiously.

Safety first they keep calling

D A

Oh, you know they're going to have to do some praying

A D A

They called him blue trouble since he was born,

A D A

The signs were up, boy, you'd better be warned,

A G D A

But to you his blue trouble it's as warm as kerosene.

A D A

Kerosene, kerosene,

A G D A

But to you his blue trouble it's as warm as kerosene.

Ice melts straight away in the palm of his hand

D A

He feels no cold, no sun, he's only ever belonged to one.

He's walked through valleys where trees no longer grow

A D A

Where the land is parched and it crackles as he walks along.

A D A

They called him blue trouble since he was born,

A D A

The signs were up, boy, you'd better be warned,

A G D A

But to you his blue trouble it's as warm as kerosene.

A D A

Kerosene, kerosene,

A G D A

But to you his blue trouble it's as warm as kerosene.
