lyrics

Something Borrowed, Something Blue Words Fred Grittner/Music Jan Hauenstein

- Instrumental intro like first four lines -
(D)Ti(D4)red (D)and (Em)restless,(Em/B)
I (A)yearn (A4)to (A)be (D)free
(D2)Of (D)this hand-(D4)me-(D)down (Em)love(Em/B)
(A)You (A4)give (A)to (D)me.
(F) That´s all I (C)ever (Am7)get from (D)you,
(F) Something (C)borrowed, some(C/B)thing (G)b(G/B)l(A)ue. (A7)(A)

(D)All (D4)this (D)con(Em)fu(Em/B)sion
(A)Keeps (A4)me (A)a(D)part,
(D2)Don´t (D)stir (D4)up (D)the (Em)ashes(Em/B)
Of (A)my (A4)smoul(A)dring (D)heart.
(F) That´s not (C)what I (Am7)want from (D)you,
(F) Something (C)borrowed, some(C/B)thing (G)b(G/B)l(A)ue.

(Bm) Half of my time I (Am)pump my(C/B)self (C)up,
The (Dj7)other half´s just a (Em)blur.
(Bm) I´m tired of singing (Am) these love(C/B)sick (C)blues,
But I (Dj7)can´t seem to find a (Em)cure. (A)(A7)(A)

(D)Love (D4)go(D)es (Em)up (Em/B)
And (A)love (A4)co(A)mes (D)down,
(D2)But (D)mos(D4)t(D)ly (Em)love(Em/B)
(A)Never (A4)came (A)a(D)round.
(F) The most I (C)ever (Am7)got from (D)you,
(F) Something (C)borrowed, some(C/B)thing (G)b(G/B)l(A)ue. (A7)(A)

I (D)don´t want (D4)to (D)re(Em)mem(Em/B)ber,
But (A)how do (A4)I (A)for(D)get
(D2)The (D)low (D4)road (D)I (Em)trave(Em/B)led
Past the (A)edge (A4)of (A)re(D)gret.
(F) That´s where I (C)ended (Am7)up with (D)you,
(F) Something (C)borrowed, some(C/B)thing (G)b(G/B)l(A)ue. (A7)(A)
(F) That´s where I (C)ended (Am7)up with (D)you…
(F) (C) (C/B) (G) (G/B) (A) (A7)(A)

More than background music.
You'll hear folk, blues, jazzy songs, rock. Big voice. Albums recommended by Gordon Bok, Harvey Andrews, Jez Lowe and others.

Why no free uploads? I cover songs. Register them with the German music rights agency GEMA. They hopefully reimburse the artists. The tax authorities demand that I make (not lose) a little money each year... ... more
