Blue Tarp Blues chords by Sonny Landreth

Chords with lyrics

You can play just the chords, but if you listen to the record that's not all.
Sonny uses one of his techniques (no idea how it works exactly) to create an amazing sound.


Intro: A minorAm Asus4Asus4 (repeat some times)

A minorAm
Air Force One had a heck of a view
A minorAm
Air Force One had a heck of a view
A minorAm
Looking down on the patchwork of the blue tarp blues.

A minorAm
I went walkin through the water sprung a leak in my shoes
A minorAm
I went walkin through the water sprung a leak in my shoes
A minorAm
that hole in my soul give me the blue tarp blues.
A minorAm
I got the blues
A minorAm
I got the blue blue tarp blues.

There's a crack in the ceiling and the system too
A minorAm
There's a crack in the ceiling and the system too

But we got full coverage of the blue tarp blues.

I got the blue blue tarp blues.

Solo over Verse Chords

E minorEm
No it wasn't the weather that sank me and you
     E minorEm
It was a bad mix of politics, greed and fools
   E minorEm
That levee of lies couldn't hold back the truth
   A minorAm
We're in deep but not out of the reach
E minorEm
Throw me something, mister.

Intro again

A minorAm
I'm gonna fly my colors and watch for you
A minorAm
I'm gonna fly my colors and watch for you
A minorAm
Like a flag of hope, above the blue tarp blues

A minorAm
I got the blues
A minorAm
