Blues Never Fade Away

blues never fade away Cm D# A# he wasn’t famous but i sure did love him G# D# i’ve got his picture in a little frame D# A# G# D# he lost his life to a big disease before it even had a name Fm A# but there’s so many more and i’ve lost count Gm Cm the hows and whys aren’t important now G# A# all that matters is they came around G# D# and brightened up our lives she was twenty one with her life ahead you don’t need to know her name she breathed her last on the cold stone floor of a hollywood arcade but fate’s right hand isn’t always just puts a lot of pressure on your faith and trust she was just a little girl , ain’t that enough to rage against the day Chorus : G# D# and how did we get so lucky A# Cm Cm/B targets on the rifle range G# D# who makes the call and who gets to choose A# Cm who gets to win and who gets to lose G# D# it’s like a rolling dice in the belly of the blues G Cm and blues never fade away Cm/B G# D# hey hey hey , colors run when the rain falls G Cm but blues never fade away he shone so bright with a lust for life like the sun king that he was his passions hung upon his walls and were printed onto cloth and for reasons i never understood about the choices made between the bad and good i’ve tried to figure out why the pain never goes away [ repeat Chorus ] G Cm and there’s marble markers and little white crosses G Cm along the beaten path G# D# and i’ve spread their ashes on the wind A# Cm and i miss john lennon’s laugh [ repeat Chorus ]
