From: armour@gov.nt.ca (4,9203240,) For all you BLue Rodeo fans out there (including the apparently large group of you Americans who follow the band - good on you!), I thought I would post the lyrics/chords and ohmigosh TAB to the first song I ever heard, and IMO, the very best one (out of the dozens of VERY good/great tunes that they have put out over the years!!): ROSE COLOURED GLASSES! Note: this is my first ever TAB (yay!!!), so it is a bit ruff, and in some minor cases, a bit incomplete. Nevertheless it should give most people a real good start on learning more than just the chords to the song. So, without further ado.... Rose-Coloured GLasses BLUE RODEO off their first album, Outskirts (1986) In standard tuning: song is in the key of E Intro: Play this 12 times, then strum the E chord once --------------------------------------------------------------| --------------------------------------------------------------| --------------------------------------------------------------| -----2-------2------------------------------------------------| ---2---2---2---2----------------------------------------------| -0-------0----------------------------------------------------| WHile someone is doing the above, on third time in the following intro riff is played by Keelor: -----------------------------------------------------------| -7-7-55-5-4h5----------------------------------------------| --------------6-6-4---9-8-6-4--9-8-6h8p6-4-----------------| -----------------------------------------------------------| -----------------------------------------------------------| -----------------------------------------------------------| Fill One (F1) g ---9-8-6p4-4---9-8-6p4-4-2-- The Song: After intro riff, start verse 1: E A B/F1 (re: F1 = fill) She sees the world through rose-coloured glasses
EPaiAnted skieB/F1s and graceful romances I Asee a worldB that's tired and scared OfAbm living on tA/F1he edge too long AWhere doeBs she get off telling me ThatAbm love will save us A/F1all Save us all B/F1
(Note: the fills do change a little bit sometimes, but no big deal!) Verse 2 (as verse 1) She takes my hand and leads me to nowhere town No matter where I stand it's always neutral ground And in the cool of the evening blue I feel so tired and alone Where does she gett off telling me That love can save us all Save us all
And its Eday after Aday I keBep hangin around can you tell me why ENight afAter night BI know I should leave But there's something in those A/F1eyes ThatB keepA/F1s me hangin on Im hypnotized It Bbreaks my heart and I doAnt know whyE
SOlo: The song is in the key of E, so just muck around withit using the notes of the fill and whatever! The beginning of the solo, just to get you started, is: g -7777-5---775h7-5-2---- Repeat Verse 1, then chorus note: after this line, this part is played by Greg: "Day after day after day after day And I dont know why... Intro bass riff, and -g---99-8-6-4---2-1-2-4--99-8-6-4--2-1-2-4----22-1-2--22-1-2--b7p5-4-2h1 E Well there you have it! If anyone has corections/suggestions, please give em to me! (its the only way I'll learn!!!!!) Thanks for your time, Travis Stuck in Yellowknife!!
