Melanie Safka - Cerulean Blue
CAPO: 2nd Fret
INTRO:    C   G   Am     F   C   G     C   G   Am     F   C  G  
And it's Cblue as in cerulean
It's the Gscent of new mown Amhay
FLaugh and turn the pages
When there's Cnothing left to Gsay
And it's Ctrue that a thing of brilliance
Can be Gpaled by dimmer Amlight
FSpin the tale of ages
And Cget me through this Gnight
CHORUS
AmTragedy takes a Cnumber
FBeauty Ctakes to Gflight
AmReason's on vaCcation
And it's Fkilling Cme toGnight
There's a Crow of oleander
That diGvides your house from Ammine
FStifles words of anger
And Ckeeps the neighbours Gblind
There's a Cstar set in the distance
Of a sGteely cold and Amgrey
With Flights on the horizon
As we Clook the other Gway
And it's Cblue as in cerulean
It's the Gscent of new mown Amhay
FLaugh and turn the pages
When there's Cnothing left to Gsay
And it's Ctrue that a thing of brilliance
Can be Gpaled by dimmer Amlight
FSpin the tale of ages
And Cget us through this Gnight
CHORUS
AmTragedy takes a Cnumber
FBeauty Ctakes to Gflight
AmReason's on vaCcation
And it's Fkilling Cme toGnight
There's a Cmusic in the silence
Of a Gspring that plays no Ammore
A Fdesert in our future
And a Cknocking at the Gdoor
There's a Cpeace for the unknowing
There's a Gwarning to the Amwise
A Fsmile upon the faces
Of our Cruin in disGguise
And it's Cblue as in cerulean
It's the Gscent of new mown Amhay
FLaugh and turn the pages
When there's Cnothing left to Gsay
And it's Ctrue that a thing of brilliance
Can be Gpaled by dimmer Amlight
FSpin the tale of ages
And Cget us through this Gnight

Melanie Safka - Cerulean Blue

CAPO: 2nd Fret

C G Am F C G C G Am F C G

INTRO:

And it's blue as in cerulean

G Am

It's the scent of new mown hay

Laugh and turn the pages

C G

When there's nothing left to say

And it's true that a thing of brilliance

G Am

Can be paled by dimmer light

Spin the tale of ages

C G

And get me through this night

CHORUS

Am C

Tragedy takes a number

F C G

Beauty takes to flight

Am C

Reason's on vacation

F C G

And it's killing me tonight

There's a row of oleander

G Am

That divides your house from mine

Stifles words of anger

C G

And keeps the neighbours blind

There's a star set in the distance

G Am

Of a steely cold and grey

With lights on the horizon

C G

As we look the other way

And it's blue as in cerulean

G Am

It's the scent of new mown hay

Laugh and turn the pages

C G

When there's nothing left to say

And it's true that a thing of brilliance

G Am

Can be paled by dimmer light

Spin the tale of ages

C G

And get us through this night

CHORUS

Am C

Tragedy takes a number

F C G

Beauty takes to flight

Am C

Reason's on vacation

F C G

And it's killing me tonight

There's a music in the silence

G Am

Of a spring that plays no more

A desert in our future

C G

And a knocking at the door

There's a peace for the unknowing

G Am

There's a warning to the wise

A smile upon the faces

C G

Of our ruin in disguise

And it's blue as in cerulean

G Am

It's the scent of new mown hay

Laugh and turn the pages

C G

When there's nothing left to say

And it's true that a thing of brilliance

G Am

Can be paled by dimmer light

Spin the tale of ages

C G

And get us through this night
