Blue Sky Tab

by Patty Griffin


note: i've heard this song both done both "unplugged",
 and the studio version(which i prefer); album version has great electric
 guitars, distortion, feedback, and that headache-invoking "wall of sound"
that i personally find so relaxing.
so this is basically just the rhythm guitar part, but it sounds great
 when you play along with the cd.
of course, any feedback(no pun intended), suggestions, corrections,
and dinner invitations are welcome.

Blue Sky
      By Patty Griffin and Jay Joyce

(barre chords)               

                               
The farther I come the farther I fall
                               
Whatever I knew it was nothing at all
                             
Nothing at all, just making me small
            
Smaller and smaller
       
I fall back

                                   
Sooner or later with a view from the ground
                             
Chasing the race and the races run you down
                            
Sooner or later with a view from the ground
                  
And a tear in your eye
                         
You say baby why can?t we fly
              
Into the blue sky
 
High
                         
Into the blue sky

      
Be my singing lesson
      
Be my song
                   
When I tell you I'm falling
                
You tell me I'm strong
                        
You say trees have grown tall
                 
birds have flown high
           
Higher and higher
               
Goodbye goodbye goodbye

                
I'll fly over a rainbow
            
I'll be sun kissed
                     
Sail around the planet Venus
                
And send a long letter
         
Way back home
                    
That says all that I know
                           
All that I know is the blue sky
                 
High in the blue sky

(elect. guitar solo)
                              

               
In the blue sky
                 
The blue Sky....

                               
The farther I come the farther I fall
                                
Whatever I knew it was nothing at all
                                      
Trees have grown tall, birds have flown high
           
Higher and higher
                                                          (KEEP GOING & FADE)
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye.....
