Last Year Of The Blue Men
Kenny Young
From: Last Stage For Silverworld (1973)
Capo: 1

| E MajorE | C# minorC#m | BB | BB | E MajorE | G# minorG#m | A augmentedA | A augmentedA |

E MajorE               BB
It's the last year of the Blue Men who watchdog Part Two Heaven
A augmentedA              E MajorE
Giving way to young ones in nineteen ninety seven
  E MajorE               F# minorF#m
Who follow in their footsteps and wear the breathing masks
  E MajorE        BB       A augmentedA        E MajorE
And answer all your questions, and ration out your tasks

C# minorC#m       G# minorG#m    F# minorF#m      E MajorE
There will be time enough for love, and room enough to play
  E MajorE        BB     A augmentedA       E MajorE
For planting Pieces babies, or passing time away
       C# minorC#m       G# minorG#m     F# minorF#m       E MajorE
There will be time enough for thought, and room enough for words
   E MajorE         BB      A augmentedA         E MajorE
That float like pillow feathers and sing just like the birds

E MajorE              BB
Stock up your provisions, devise a shell rock shelter
   A augmentedA               E MajorE
Where jovial ceilings smile down on every room you enter
   E MajorE              F# minorF#m
Paint windows in your gardens, and windmills on your doors
  E MajorE       BB      A augmentedA       E MajorE
And lock away the memory that Daddy died in war

C# minorC#m       G# minorG#m    F# minorF#m      E MajorE
There will be time enough for love, and room enough to play
  E MajorE        BB     A augmentedA       E MajorE
For planting Pieces babies, or passing time away

| C# minorC#m G# minorG#m | F# minorF#m E MajorE | E MajorE BB | A augmentedA E MajorE | E MajorE |

C# minorC#m      G# minorG#m     E MajorE
. Turn in your number for a color bye
A augmentedA     G# minorG#m      F#F#        BB  - A augmentedA - G# minorG#m - F# minorF#m
Trade in tomorrow's cake . for yesterday's pie - i - i --- i

E MajorE                BB
It's the last year of the full moon that shines on Part Two Heaven
  A augmentedA                 E MajorE
But we still play the moon songs from nineteen fifty seven
  E MajorE             F# minorF#m
The files of pleasure photos, recall us to our prime
  E MajorE       BB      A augmentedA          C# minorC#m
And rock-a-bye us, lullabye us back to the good old times

Note: In the recording I have, the whole song is a little sharp. If
you play along with the recording on a guitar tuned with a digital
tuner you'll find the chords in the chart just a little low. If you
play the song a half step higher you'll find the half step is too
high.

I suspect that the record's producers wanted a little more energy
from the track, and so sped it up just a little. Speeding up the
track would also make it just a little bit higher in pitch. This was
not an unusual practice when the track was recorded in 1973.

To test my theory I used iRehearse, which is a digital phrase trainer
that allows you to change the pitch and/or tempo of digital sound
files. (It's a great rehearsal tool.)

By lowering the pitch about 1/2 semi-tone (aka -50 "cents") I was
able to bring the recording back into perfect tune.
