Tule's Blues
[Intro]
G Am7 D Em D Em C2 G
[Verse 1]
GOh TDule, it's Gon account of yCou that I've been weeGping
DHere behind my Emhand
And It's loCnesome in my heart's laGnd, as the saCnds of the desDert
[Verse 2]
GOh, Dtell me, why wGas it always Cyou, who, through the cGhanges
DYou, who always Emsang
and plCayed while the green vespers rGang
In the heCart of the hilDlside
DIt's a sad song we alCways seem to be sDinging it Cto each Gother
You and Cme, sweet and slightly out of Bmkey
Like the sEmound of a running down callCiopeG  C  G  D  
[Verse 3]
GOh TDule, it's Gonce I was your knCight in golden arGmor
With the sDun behind my hEmair
And my mCusic filled the aGir 
with syCmbols and lDightning!
[Verse 4]
GOh tDell me, now Gcan't you see I'm Cchanging like the Gseasons?
My hDair is growing Emdark
And there's Cno room left in the Gark 
for a lCark with a brDoken wing
DIt's a sad song we alCways seem to be singDing tCo each Gother
You and Cme, sweet and slightly out of Bmkey
Like the sEmound of a running down callCiopeG  C  G  D  
[Verse 5]
GOh TDule, it's Gon account of you Cthat I'll be leaGving
'CDross the deep salt Emsea
WChatever wild worlds I may sGee,  
will be eCmpty without Dyou
DIt's a sad song we alCways seem to be singDing it tCo each Gother
And a chCild's voice, so tender and out of Bmtune
Does he Emask if I'll be coming home Csoon?
Does he Dask if I'll be coming home Gsoon?

[Intro]

G Am7 D Em D Em C2 G

[Verse 1]

G D G C G

Oh Tule, it's on account of you that I've been weeping

D Em

Here behind my hand

C G C D

And It's lonesome in my heart's land, as the sands of the desert

[Verse 2]

G D G C G

Oh, tell me, why was it always you, who, through the changes

D Em

You, who always sang

C G

and played while the green vespers rang

C D

In the heart of the hillside

D C D C G

It's a sad song we always seem to be singing it to each other

C Bm

You and me, sweet and slightly out of key

Em C G C G D

Like the sound of a running down calliope

[Verse 3]

G D G C G

Oh Tule, it's once I was your knight in golden armor

D Em

With the sun behind my hair

C G

And my music filled the air

C D

with symbols and lightning!

[Verse 4]

G D G C G

Oh tell me, now can't you see I'm changing like the seasons?

D Em

My hair is growing dark

C G

And there's no room left in the ark

C D

for a lark with a broken wing

D C D C G

It's a sad song we always seem to be singing to each other

C Bm

You and me, sweet and slightly out of key

Em C G C G D

Like the sound of a running down calliope

[Verse 5]

Oh Tule, it's on account of you that I'll be leaving

D Em

'Cross the deep salt sea

C G

Whatever wild worlds I may see,

C D

will be empty without you

D C D C G

It's a sad song we always seem to be singing it to each other

And a child's voice, so tender and out of tune

Em C

Does he ask if I'll be coming home soon?

D G

Does he ask if I'll be coming home soon?
