Capo 8



You can vary the bass notes during the picking/strumming of the chords.
Usually the five (D/A, C/G), but he uses some others as well, almost like a walking bass sometimes.


Verse:
D           C
Exiled on the road tonight
 D     C
Am I, oh am I
D               C
Just like a child of the easy lights
D     C
Am I, oh am I

  D            C
Oh play the saxophone very sweetly
 D     C
Do I, ah do I
  D            C
No I'm not afraid of no darkness
  D    Am7
Oh am I, am I


Chorus:
  D      G
And seven bold colors
C     D
All in the rain
  D       G
Oh showed me life
      C        D
But it was very much in vain
  D       G
Oh after the colors
C     D
Made me cry
   D      G
And showed the way
     Am7     C
With the rainbow sides
