Jackson Browne - Your Bright Baby Blues Chords & Tabs

Your bright baby blues – Jackson Browne


Capo II


    E                   
I'm sitting down by the highway
A                         E     A    E
Down by that highway side
A
Everybody's going somewhere
                                E    A  E
Riding just as fast as they can ride
B          
I guess they've got a lot to do
C#m             A  
Before they can rest assured
      E         B           A
Their lives are justified
                E
Pray to God for me baby
A             E         B
He can let me slide

                 E
'Cause I've been up and down this highway
A                  E    A    E
Far as my eyes can see
A
No matter how fast I run
                                  E  A  E
I can never seem to get away from me
B
No matter where I am
C#m          A                  E        
I can't help feeling I'm just a day away
     B               A
From where I want to be
                E
Now I'm running home baby
A                   E      B
Like a river to the sea

                E
Baby if you can see me
                A
Out across this wilderness
             E
There's just one thing
      B
I was hoping you might guess
             C#m
Baby you can free me
           A             B           E    A  E  B
All in the power of your sweet tenderness

      E
I can see it in your eyes
A                            E      A   E
You've got those bright baby blues
A
You don't see what you've got to gain
                      E     A    E
But you don't like to lose
B                          
You watch yourself from the sidelines
C#m                 A                   E
Like your life is a game you don't mind playing
   B             A       
To keep yourself amused
                   E
I don't mean to be cruel baby
A                  E         B    
But you're looking confused


                E         
Baby if you can hear me
               A
Turn down your radio
             E
There's just one thing
  B
I want you to know
                 C#m
When you've been near me
              A    B              E    A   E   B
I've felt the love stirring in my soul


Solo:
|E        |A        |E    A    |E       |
|A        |A        |E    A    |E       |
|B        |C#m  A   |E    B    |A       |
|E    A   |E    B   |       



        E
It's so hard to come by
A                     E    A    E    
That feeling of peace

This friend of mine said
            A                      E      A   E
"Close your eyes, and try a few of these"
B                           
I thought I was flying like a bird
C#m    A
So far above my sorrow
           E
But when I looked down
      B                    A
I was standing on my knees
                      E
Now I need someone to help me
A                  E         B
Someone to help me please


            E
Baby if you need me
       A
Like I know I need you
             E
There's just one thing
     B
I'll ask you to do

                 C#m
Take my hand and lead me
                    A           B
To the hole in your garden wall
            E       A       E        B
And pull me through

|B        |C#m  A   |E    B    |A       |
|E    A   |E    B   |
