The Blue Lyrics
by Jason Isbell
The key to this song is in the right hand. To make this sound
right you can't just strum the chords during the verses and
breaks. You will hit different pieces of the chord at different
times to achieve the proper dynamics. Listen to the song for
timing.
The / before the C#m indicates that you will slide up from a B note into the chord.
Don't roll away that stone girl
Leave it where it lay
You think he's coming home but you know its not today
I think the road'll break me
And never fill the holes
Everytime I'm saved I stop beating out of soul
And I'm too scared to ask the right questions
I'm too tired to fill the right shoes
So I'll take advantage of the blue
Oh I'll take advantage of the blue
There really ain't no difference
In Michigan and Maine
If you ain't here to see this I'm missing just the same
Your skin is soft as water
same temperature as me
I'd never know I touched you if you didn't let me see
And I'd crawl to meet you if you'd just stay there
Finally have the thing I couldn't bear to lose
For now I'll take advantage of the blues
Oh I'll take advantage of the blue
Mark me up so they can see the best of me
Hold me down when I can't find drink
And dance so I don't have to think
And dance so I don't have to think
Please dance So I don't have to think
Enjoy!
