BOMBAY BLUES - MYSTERY JETS
CAPO 3RD FRET
STANDARD TUNING
AA baby, young and sweet
A Maharashtra night, a city street
And I feel Emlow
Hear her crAying in her sleep
A blanket of newspaper sheets
By my wEmindow
There's no worsAe sound that I could hear
Or hope of life that I fear she'll never Emknow
Oh those Bombay ABlues
And the haGrder you push her away
The sooner your heart turns a darker shade of Agrey
But the Emmore you allow her in
The longer she'll live beneath the surface of your Askin
(PAUSE)                G  Em  
Oh and now that I can seeeee
How love becomes the AenF#memyyBmyyy
They say there's nothing you can GdoEmooo
But that's what they want you to AbeF#mlievBme
Full moon Aparty on the beach
Burning holy effigies on Summer Emsands
TemporariAly mend the holes
In your chimerical soul
In a mystic Emland
But all tGhe beautiful things that you love
Will one day turn into the things that you Adespise
'Cuz the Emdarkness lives within
And the more that you hide it
The darker it stains yoAur skin
(PAUSE)                G  Em  
Oh and now that I can seeee
How love becomes a AmeF#mmoryBmyy
And you say there's nothing I can GdoEm  
If that's what you wanna AbeF#mlievBme
Oh and now that I can GseEme
How love becomes the AenF#memyyBmyyy
You say there's nothing I can do
If that's what you wanna AbeF#mlievBme
There's clearly nothing I can GsaEmy
That will make her go AawF#mayyyBmyyy
Don't say there's nothing I can GdoEmooo
If that's what you wanna AbeF#mlievBme

BOMBAY BLUES - MYSTERY JETS

CAPO 3RD FRET

STANDARD TUNING

A baby, young and sweet

A Maharashtra night, a city street

And I feel low

Hear her crying in her sleep

A blanket of newspaper sheets

By my window

There's no worse sound that I could hear

Or hope of life that I fear she'll never know

Oh those Bombay Blues

And the harder you push her away

The sooner your heart turns a darker shade of grey

But the more you allow her in

The longer she'll live beneath the surface of your skin

G Em

(PAUSE)

Oh and now that I can seeeee

A F#m Bm

How love becomes the enemyyyyy

G Em

They say there's nothing you can doooo

A F#m Bm

But that's what they want you to believe

Full moon party on the beach

Burning holy effigies on Summer sands

Temporarily mend the holes

In your chimerical soul

In a mystic land

But all the beautiful things that you love

Will one day turn into the things that you despise

'Cuz the darkness lives within

And the more that you hide it

The darker it stains your skin

G Em

(PAUSE)

Oh and now that I can seeee

A F#m Bm

How love becomes a memoryyy

G Em

And you say there's nothing I can do

A F#m Bm

If that's what you wanna believe

G Em

Oh and now that I can see

A F#m Bm

How love becomes the enemyyyyy

You say there's nothing I can do

A F#m Bm

If that's what you wanna believe

G Em

There's clearly nothing I can say

A F#m Bm

That will make her go awayyyyyy

G Em

Don't say there's nothing I can doooo

A F#m Bm

If that's what you wanna believe
