BLUE CHALK
by John Gorka
>From "Between Five And Seven"

C
So I wonder how she's doing
G
I hate it when the rumors fly
 Dm 		      Am
They give off such a strange sense of mission
 F			   G
Wing your helplessness on high
C
But she would never run from strangers
G
She sang alone like a bell will toll
Dm	      Am
Way above the clang and the clatter
F			 G
Out of fear of her demon soul

[repeat 4 bars instrumental   line=bar	]
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/j/john_gorka/blue_chalk_crd.html ]
C
Maybe none of this is my business
G
And none of what I hear is true
Dm	      Am
I am far from mint condition
F		      G
Circulation's hard on you

CHORUS
C
Hold tight, hang tough
G
Love's not enough
Dm		Am
To keep you off that stuff
F        G
To save you
F
Hold tight, hang tough
Am7
Love's not enough
Dm		     Am
To keep you off that stuff
    F    G   C
To save you now

C
He could always find the holes in the bottles
G
Even with a blindfold on
Dm	       Am
Never kept his seat on the wagon
F		   G
Rolling off like a rolling stone
C
Blue chalk between his fingers
 G
Hustling a poolroom song
Dm		 Am
He always kept a line for the singers
F		 G
Pointing his cue right from wrong

[CHORUS]

{Repeat first verse & chorus}
