Richard Shindell - Blue Divide


CAPO: 3rd Fret


INTRO: G+G  D MajorD  E minorEm G+G C majorC D MajorD  G+G

        D MajorD  E minorEm
Once I tried to row
      G+G       C majorC  D MajorD G+G
'Cause you know I hate to fly
        D MajorD       E minorEm
So I set out from the coast
            C majorC   D MajorD E minorEm
But got battered by the tide
          A augmentedA
As I glided back to shore
         D MajorD
I raised an angry oar
  C majorC         G+G   D MajorD G+G
And cursed that blue divide

      D MajorD      E minorEm
As if it weren't enough
      G+G        C majorC   D MajorD  G+G
To still be stranded on the wrong side
      D MajorD      E minorEm
I landed in the surf
           C majorC   D MajorD  E minorEm
When a breaker hit my blind side
            A augmentedA
And when my clothes had dried
          D MajorD
I hung my head and cried
 C majorC        G+G   B minorBm
Beside that blue divide


          C majorC       B minorBm
'Cause all that time I thought
       C majorC      B minorBm
That you and I were lost
          C majorC
A augmentedA toss, long fallen wide
    D MajorD    G+G   D MajorD C majorC
In that blue divide
      D MajorD    G+G   D MajorD C majorC  D MajorD G+G
That endless blue divide

          D MajorD      E minorEm
So I climbed up o___n a dune
       G+G     C majorC   D MajorD  G+G
And found Marconi with his radio
         D MajorD      E minorEm
He was looking kind of blue
            C majorC    D MajorD  E minorEm
'Cause his antenna rusted long ago
          A augmentedA
And sitting on the cliff
          D MajorD
We shared a handkerchief
  C majorC       G+G   E minorEm
Above that blue divide
         A augmentedA
I waved it in the hope
           D MajorD
That you owned a telescope
      C majorC         G+G   B minorBm
That could pierce that blue divide


        C majorC      B minorBm
I thought I was marooned
              C majorC     B minorBm
'Til I caught sight of your balloon___
        C majorC
Rising with the moon
      D MajorD    G+G   D MajorD C majorC
Across that blue divide
      D MajorD    G+G   D MajorD C majorC
That endless blue divide
      D MajorD    G+G   D MajorD C majorC
Across that blue divide
      D MajorD    G+G   D MajorD C majorC
That endless blue divide
      D MajorD    G+G   D MajorD C majorC
Across that blue divide
      D MajorD    G+G
That endless blue divide
