Chords with lyrics
Prison Blue Eyes- Chadwick Stokes
Sounds kind of like this to me
[Verse]
E MajorE
I've got to go downtown
E MajorE A augmentedA
I'll miss you along the way
E MajorE C#C#
I'll miss your stripes, your Lilly whites
C#C# BB
That have turned dirty grey
E MajorE
I've got to pay that bus
E MajorE A augmentedA
I've got to make that fare
E MajorE C#C#
I miss the kiss of your crooked teeth
C#C# BB
Miss your pixie hair
[Chorus]
A augmentedA E MajorE
Cause I hate to see you suffering
BB A augmentedA E MajorE C#C# C#C# G#G# A augmentedA
Don’t ever want your prison blue eyes to be sad not once
E MajorE BB A augmentedA
I know its not how it goes
E MajorE BB A augmentedA
But this worrying was undersold
E MajorE
Im gonna go down East
E MajorE A augmentedA
Walk down Elliot Street
E MajorE C#C#
Wave to the murals with my little girl
C#C# BB
Watch the cracks in the concrete
E MajorE
I feel the rain outside
E MajorE A augmentedA
I hear the bell strike late
E MajorE C#C#
Is that you I hear coming off the street
C#C# BB
Or just the wind blowing the gate?
[Chorus]
A augmentedA E MajorE
Cause I hate to see you suffering
BB A augmentedA E MajorE C#C# G#G# A augmentedA
Don’t ever want your prison blue eyes to be sad not once
E MajorE BB A augmentedA
I know its not how it goes
E MajorE BB A augmentedA
But this worrying was undersold
[Verse]
Whistling
[Chorus]
A augmentedA E MajorE
Cause I hate to see you suffering
BB A augmentedA E MajorE C#C# G#G# A augmentedA
Don’t ever want your prison blue eyes to be sad not once
E MajorE BB A augmentedA
I know its not how it goes
E MajorE BB A augmentedA
But this worrying was undersold
