Blues Never Fade Away
Cm
He wasn't Ebfamous but I sure did lBbove him
I've got his Abpicture in a little fEbrame 
He lost his Eblife to a big diBbsease before it eAbven had a name Eb  
But there's Fmso many more and BbI've lost count
The hGmows and whys aren't Cmimportant now
All that Abmatters is they came arBbound 
And bAbrightened up our livesEb  
She was twenty one with her life ahead 
You don't need to know her name 
She breathed her last on the cold stone floor of a Hollywood arcade 
But fate's right hand isn't always just 
Puts a lot of pressure on your faith and trust 
She was just a little girl, ain't that enough 
To rage against the day 
chorus:
And Abhow did we get so lEbucky
                      Bb           Cm  Cm/B  
Targets on the rifle range
Who Abmakes the call and Ebwho gets to choose
BbWho gets to win and whCmo gets to lose
It's like a Abrolling dice in the Ebbelly of the blues 
And Gblues never fade aCmway 
Cm/         B                    Ab  Eb  
Hey hey hey, colors run when the rain falls 
But Gblues never fade awaCmy 
He shone so bright with a lust for life 
Like the Sun King that he was 
His passions hung upon his walls and were printed onto cloth 
And for reasons I never understood 
About the choices made between the bad and good 
I've tried to figure out why
The pain never goes away 
[repeat chorus]
And there's Gmarble markers and Cmlittle white crosses 
AGlong the beaten Cmpath 
And I've sAbpread their ashes Ebon the wind 
And I mBbiss John Lennon's lCmaugh 
[repeat chorus]

Blues Never Fade Away

Eb Bb

He wasn't famous but I sure did love him

Ab Eb

I've got his picture in a little frame

Eb Bb Ab Eb

He lost his life to a big disease before it even had a name

Fm Bb

But there's so many more and I've lost count

Gm Cm

The hows and whys aren't important now

Ab Bb

All that matters is they came around

Ab Eb

And brightened up our lives

She was twenty one with her life ahead

You don't need to know her name

She breathed her last on the cold stone floor of a Hollywood arcade

But fate's right hand isn't always just

Puts a lot of pressure on your faith and trust

She was just a little girl, ain't that enough

To rage against the day

Ab Eb

And how did we get so lucky

It's like a rolling dice in the belly of the blues

G Cm

And blues never fade away

Cm B Ab Eb

Hey hey hey, colors run when the rain falls

G Cm

But blues never fade away

He shone so bright with a lust for life

Like the Sun King that he was

His passions hung upon his walls and were printed onto cloth

And for reasons I never understood

About the choices made between the bad and good

I've tried to figure out why

The pain never goes away

[repeat chorus]

G Cm

And there's marble markers and little white crosses

G Cm

Along the beaten path

Ab Eb

And I've spread their ashes on the wind

Bb Cm

And I miss John Lennon's laugh

[repeat chorus]
