Shadow Blues – Laura Veirs
By Harriet Harding, Sydney, Australia
Every Bbm can be Bbm7, but it isn’t as beautiful if you do it all the time! Boring! 
And, just incase you don’t know Gb is the same as F#.. Ab is the same as G# etc!
BbmThere's a shadow beneath the sea
AbThere's a shadow beBbmtween you and me
BbmI've learned that love is scared of light
Thousand sAbeeds from Gba flower 
Blowing thrBbmough the night
BbmYour blackened kiss on my cheek
Your blackened Abkiss runs rivBbmer deep
A stranded fish dear, i'm on the sand
Blue waAbter from a Gbpool
Up to the clouds i'lBbml land
BbmThough i am dark ‘bout the whys of wanting
ThoAbugh i am daBbmrk, i'm still a child
Gonna dig a cBbmoal Ebm7mine, clBbmimb doEbm7wn deep inside
Where my shaAbdow's got Gbone place to go 
One placBbme to hide…
