Buffalo Tom : Blue (written by Matt Piucci)

This is the B side to the Sunflower Suit 7" Single and a B side track
on the Crawl 12".  I think its also on the CD reissue of their first
album 'Buffalo Tom'.

This song is played on the accoustic and is mainly just strumming D and
Dsus2.  I havent tabbed out this strumming, just alternate randomly
and it sounds fine.  I have annotated this strumming as DDsus2.


Chords Used

The song is as follows -


===> Verse 1

DDsus2
Its blue, down my street

C                G             DDsus2
Just like people you might meet

DDsus2
Its true, on her face

C                  G          DDsus2
The loneliness you cant escape

C                  G               DDsus2
and who could ever retake her place


===> Verse 2 and 3

DDsus2
She wore, a little ?????

C                    G         DDsus2
Seemed like life had just begun

DDsus2
found out, on the phone

C                   G         DDsus2
then we knew we were all alone

C                        G              DDsus2
and all our tears wouldnt bring her home


===> After verse 3 play the following 4 times

C                        G              DDsus2
and all our tears wouldnt bring her home


===> Between the verses strum DDsus2


===> After the verses continue strumming DDsus2 and then
===> to finish play the following


     let ring         let ring     let ring
E-|-0---------0-0-0-3-------------2-------------------------------|
B-|-1---------1-1-1-0-------------3-------------------------------|

D-|-2---------2-2-2-0----------0--0-------------------------------|
