Blue by The Jayhawks as seen on their 2012 performance on Sound Opinions via YouTube This is an improvement on the chords and tab generously provided by Jason Simon (Jsimon@vnet.net) and Jeff Blackwell (jbb3607@decster.uta.edu). I referenced The Jayhawks performance on "Sound Opinions" to make these tweaks. This version also includes the turnaround chord before the bridge (based on what I think I hear the piano doing), the counter-melody lyrics (in parentheses), the missing lyrics that got chopped off at the beginning of their submission and some minor tweaks to chord voicings. It's my first actual contribution here (though I've been using this site for years now so I hope you find it helpful. Intro: (slide into chords) A B A E (4x) Verse:
