BLUE CHALK
by John Gorka
>From "Between Five And Seven"


 C
So I wonder how she's doing

 G
I hate it when the rumors fly
 
 Dm 		      
 Am
They give off such a strange sense of mission
 
 F			   
 G
Wing your helplessness on high

 C
But she would never run from strangers

 G
She sang alone like a bell will toll

 Dm	      
 Am
Way above the clang and the clatter

 F			 
 G
Out of fear of her demon soul

[repeat 4 bars instrumental   line=bar	]


 C
Maybe none of this is my business

 G
And none of what I hear is true

 Dm	      
 Am
I am far from mint condition

 F		      
 G
Circulation's hard on you

CHORUS

 C
Hold tight, hang tough

 G
Love's not enough

 Dm		
 Am
To keep you off that stuff

 F        
 G
To save you

 F
Hold tight, hang tough

 Am7
Love's not enough

 Dm		     
 Am
To keep you off that stuff
    
 F    
 G   
 C
To save you now


 C
He could always find the holes in the bottles

 G
Even with a blindfold on

 Dm	       
 Am
Never kept his seat on the wagon

 F		   
 G
Rolling off like a rolling stone

 C
Blue chalk between his fingers
 
 G
Hustling a poolroom song

 Dm		 
 Am
He always kept a line for the singers

 F		 
 G
Pointing his cue right from wrong

[CHORUS]

{Repeat first verse & chorus}
