Chords for Chris Smither - "Shillin' For The Blues" (Live at WFUV)

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Take a little slow resentment, _ _ and allow [A] some small regret.
_ _ _ _ _ _ [E]
Half a cup of wounded [Bm] pride that hurts inside and has [E] not faded yet.
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Bm] _
Add a pinch of passion and [A] a double shot of booze.
[E] When your self-respect is [A] crashing, you can drink it up and you can cash [E] in on the blues.
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Bm] _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Ain't it funny how the sun inside will never reach my shadow [A] in the shade?
_ _ _ _ _ [E] Ain't it funny how the colors [Bm] seem the brightest just before they start to fade?
If _ _ _ _ _ you say that ain't funny, if you [A] say you're not abused,
[E]
I'll say I ain't surprised, my [A] sense of humor's paralyzed [E] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [G#]
by the blues.
_ [E] _ _ _ [A] How long I got to wait, I'm running late, _ somebody [E] help me soon.
_ _ _ _ _ [A] Get me off I'm under, it's a wonder I'm on this [B] side of the tour.
_ _ [F#m] _ _ _ [E] But the preacher teaches patience in the ancient sense and it stretches [A] out for years.
_ _ _ _ _ _ [E]
I can't stand to listen, [Bm] I can't see beyond this [E] glistening of tears.
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Bm]
It's never nice to hear advice [A] you know you'll never use.
[Bm] _
[E] The spirit might be willing, [A] but the flesh is out there, [E] it's shilling for the blues. _ _ _ _ _ _
For the blues. _ _ _ _ _
[Bm] It's never nice to hear advice you know [A] you'll never use.
The [Bm] spirit might be willing, but the [A] flesh is out there, still shilling for the blues.
_ _ _ [Am] _ _ _ [C#m] _ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
