Blue Sunny Day
Jonathan Coulton
Arr. Hamish Milne
A D D A
|| |||||||| ||||||||
D A
Early light that burns my eyes,
Bm F#
A minute more the sun will rise
G D A (A7)
And paint the bright blue sky with yellow gold
D A
Ill be dead asleep by then,
Bm F#
Shut up in this box again
Em F#
Until its gone
Em F# (A#dim)
Outside I can hear it
B C#m B E
Birds are singing, bees are buzzing, sun shines overhead
B C#m B E
Id be there to see it but I cant get out of bed
D G D G
Since the day you left the weather always feels this way
B D#dim E Em
One more blue sunny day
D A
||||||||
D A
Looking for an easy mark
Bm F#
I hit the Dennys after dark
G D A (A7)
And take a lonely waitress home to drink,
D A
Shes sincere, but halfway through
Bm F#
I find Im wishing she was you
Em F#
My blood goes cold
Em F# (A#dim)
I guess this date is over
B C#m B E
Several hours later Im the only one awake
B C#m B E
All these streets are empty, its just me and my mistake
D G D G
One by one the stars go out as black sky turns to gray
B D#dim E Em
One more blue sunny day
Em D#m
Sometimes I see how long I can wait
D E7
Tempting disaster by my garden gate
Em D#m
My trembling hand on the cellar door
D E C# F# G
Trying not to think of what it is Im waiting for
G DM7 Em F# B
|||||||| |||||||| |||||||| ||||||||
D A
All at once Ive had enough
Bm F#
As if Im made of sterner stuff
G D A (A7)
I take a breath and open up the door
D A
Dawn breaks hard and falls on me
Bm F#
For just one moment I can see
Em F#
The pale blue sky
Em F# (A#dim)
I close my eyes because
B C#m B E
The worlds so bright and beautiful I have to look away
B C#m B E
Braced against the beauty of another perfect day
D G D G
As I go to pieces and the breeze blows me away
B D#dim E Em
One more blue sunny day

Good effort, though
I was going by the recorded version and he the live version, which is probably why mine's a tone higher lol
