Landlocked blues

capo 3rd fret

Real easy song,Same progression all the way through the song. It's easy to work
out the rhythm. The positions of the changes is pretty accurate


C majorC X32010  Am/GAm/G X02213 A minorAm X02210


 C majorC            Am/GAm/G           C majorC
If you walk away, I'll walk away
    C majorC          Am/GAm/G             C majorC
First tell me which road you will take
  A minorAm       Am/GAm/G           C majorC          A minorAm
I don't want to risk our paths crossing some day
   C majorC               Am/GAm/G             C majorC
So you walk that way, I'll walk this way

       C majorC         Am/GAm/G      C majorC
And the future hangs over our heads
      C majorC            Am/GAm/G      C majorC
And it moves with each current event
  A minorAm        Am/GAm/G          C majorC         A minorAm
Until it falls all around like a cold steady rain
    C majorC            Am/GAm/G         C majorC
Just stay in when it's looking this way

        C majorC          Am/GAm/G        C majorC
And the moon's laying low in the sky
       C majorC        Am/GAm/G      C majorC
Forcing everything metal to shine
       A minorAm          Am/GAm/G             C majorC           A minorAm
And the sidewalk holds diamonds like the jewelry store case
      C majorC                Am/GAm/G          C majorC
They argue walk this way, no walk this way

     C majorC        Am/GAm/G        C majorC
And Laura's asleep in my bed
       C majorC          Am/GAm/G         C majorC
As I'm leaving she wakes up and says
    A minorAm           Am/GAm/G               C majorC      A minorAm
I dreamed you were carried away ,on the crest of a wave
    C majorC            Am/GAm/G        C majorC
Baby don't go away, come here"

         C majorC          Am/GAm/G        C majorC
And there's kids playing guns in the street
        C majorC         Am/GAm/G           C majorC
And ones pointing his tree branch at me
     A minorAm        Am/GAm/G       C majorC            A minorAm
So I put my hands up, I say "enough is enough,
   C majorC           Am/GAm/G            C majorC
If you walk away, I'll walk away"
And he shot me dead

A minorAm     Am/GAm/G   C majorC
I found a liquid cure
A minorAm     Am/GAm/G        C majorC
From my landlocked blues
    FF   Am/GAm/G        C majorC    A minorAm
It'll pass away like a slow parade
    C majorC        Am/GAm/G           C majorC
It's leaving but I don't know how soon

       C majorC        Am/GAm/G        C majorC
And the world's got me dizzy again
     C majorC          Am/GAm/G        C majorC
You think after 22 years I'd be used to the spin
    A minorAm       Am/GAm/G          C majorC        A minorAm
And it only feels worse when I stay in one place
              C majorC          Am/GAm/G        C majorC
So I'm always pacing around or walking away

      C majorC        Am/GAm/G          C majorC
I keep drinking the ink from my pen
        C majorC       Am/GAm/G           C majorC
And I'm balancing history books up on my head
     A minorAm    Am/GAm/G          C majorC        A minorAm
But it all boils down to one quotable phrase
     C majorC           Am/GAm/G        C majorC
If you love something, give it away

      C majorC          Am/GAm/G        C majorC
A augmentedA good woman will pick you a par
      C majorC       Am/GAm/G            C majorC
A augmentedA box full of suggestions for your possible heart
       A minorAm    Am/GAm/G          C majorC        A minorAm
But you may be offended and you may be afraid
    C majorC            Am/GAm/G            C majorC
But don't walk away, don't walk away

        C majorC        Am/GAm/G        C majorC
We made love on the living room floor
         C majorC       G+G            C majorC
With the noise in the background of a televised war
          A minorAm    Am/GAm/G               C majorC        A minorAm
And in the deafening pleasure I thought I heard someone say
   C majorC           Am/GAm/G              C majorC
"If we walk away, they'll walk away"

    C majorC      Am/GAm/G        C majorC
But greed is a bottomless pit
       C majorC         Am/GAm/G           C majorC
And our freedom's a joke we're just taking the piss
       A minorAm        Am/GAm/G             C majorC        A minorAm
And the whole world must watch this sad comic display
    C majorC        Am/GAm/G           C majorC
If you're still free start running away

Cause we're coming for you!

Instrumental trumpet bit (keep up the chord progression
         C majorC      G+G        C majorC
I've grown tired of holding this pose
     C majorC         G+G          C majorC
I feel more like a stranger each time I come home
    A minorAm    G+G       C majorC     A minorAm
So I'm making a deal with the devils of fame
    C majorC        G+G    C majorC
Saying "let me walk away, please"

         C majorC      G+G            C majorC
You'll be free child once you have died
        C majorC        G+G           C majorC
From the shackles of language and immeasurable time
       A minorAm    G+G             C majorC      A minorAm
And then we can trade places, play musical graves
    C majorC           G+G        C majorC
Till then walk away, walk away

A minorAm     G+G   C majorC
So I'm up at dawn
A minorAm     G+G   C majorC
Putting on my shoes
    FF      G+G     C majorC    A minorAm
I just want to make a clean escape
A minorAm     G+G   C majorC
I'm leaving but I don't know where to
A minorAm     G+G   C majorC
I know I'm leaving but I don't know where to
