Elbow - Fly Boy Blue / Lunette
Note:
The last chord of the Lunette part (G) is optional, as it is not played in the original song.
It is, however, the most logical way to end the song, so that's why I put it there.
Fly Boy Blue
G minor, 4/4, 140bpm
GmIt's a lethal ballet
Air traffic congestion
I'm having a baby
Second thoughts, scotch, dinner and
DSomeone's dancing on the box
A former MP and no one's watching
My Eboldest friends are a serious habit
Fly boy blue, so bring your faces
DHome to my sweet trampoline
And acres of crash site love
Gm
DSomeone's dancing on the box
A former MP and no one's watching
My Eboldest friends are a serious habit
Fly boy blue, so bring your faces
DHome to my sweet trampoline
And acres of crash site love
Gm D Eb D
GmPresidential delays
Suppose I'm just lucky 
l'm having a shindig
Me, Red Bob and The Ivory Host
And Dsomeone's shouting on the box
A chinless prefect gone Godzilla
My Ebnewest friends have forgotten my name
But so have I so far so good and home
DYou and me trampoline
And oceans of crash site love 
Gm D Eb D
Lunette
G major, 3/4, 140bpm
 C   G   Em   D(3x)
CWhat can be said of the cigarettes smoked
A Gprop for a joke or a mark on the clock
If I Emstopped would the bus ever come
Would the dawn ever Dkiss me forgivingly knowing what's done 
Would the Cdrivel make scribble, make sense and then song
Would the Gwoodbines denied black another man's lungs
PerEmverse as it may sound I sometimes believe
The Dtip to my lips just reminds me to breathe
CWhat can be said of the whiskey and wine
GRandom abandon or ballast for joy
That was Emscuppered with trust little more than a boy 
And beDsides I'm in excellent company
I'm Creaching the age when decisions are made 
on the Glife and the liver and I'm sure, last ditch 
that I'll Emask for more time, but Mother forgive me
I Dstill want a bottle of good Irish whiskey
And a Cbundle of smokes in my graveG  
But there Emisn't words yet for the comfort I get
From the Dgentle lunette at the top of the nape 
of the Cneck that I wake to
And Gwhere are the words for the leap in my chest
When Emmischief appears either side of the scar 
on your Dnose, made by a rose thorn
                              C(G)
So you claim, by a rose thorn

Fly Boy Blue

G minor, 4/4, 140bpm

It's a lethal ballet

Air traffic congestion

I'm having a baby

Second thoughts, scotch, dinner and

Someone's dancing on the box

A former MP and no one's watching

My oldest friends are a serious habit

Fly boy blue, so bring your faces

Home to my sweet trampoline

And acres of crash site love

Someone's dancing on the box

A former MP and no one's watching

My oldest friends are a serious habit

Fly boy blue, so bring your faces

Home to my sweet trampoline

And acres of crash site love

Gm D Eb D

Presidential delays

Suppose I'm just lucky

l'm having a shindig

Me, Red Bob and The Ivory Host

And someone's shouting on the box

A chinless prefect gone Godzilla

My newest friends have forgotten my name

But so have I so far so good and home

You and me trampoline

And oceans of crash site love

Gm D Eb D

Lunette

G major, 3/4, 140bpm

What can be said of the cigarettes smoked

A prop for a joke or a mark on the clock

If I stopped would the bus ever come

Would the dawn ever kiss me forgivingly knowing what's done

Would the drivel make scribble, make sense and then song

Would the woodbines denied black another man's lungs

Perverse as it may sound I sometimes believe

The tip to my lips just reminds me to breathe

What can be said of the whiskey and wine

Random abandon or ballast for joy

That was scuppered with trust little more than a boy

And besides I'm in excellent company

I'm reaching the age when decisions are made

on the life and the liver and I'm sure, last ditch

that I'll ask for more time, but Mother forgive me

I still want a bottle of good Irish whiskey

C G

And a bundle of smokes in my grave

But there isn't words yet for the comfort I get

From the gentle lunette at the top of the nape

of the neck that I wake to

And where are the words for the leap in my chest

When mischief appears either side of the scar

on your nose, made by a rose thorn

C G

()

So you claim, by a rose thorn
