Chords for David Gray - Flame Turns Blue (live at Zermatt Unplugged)

_ _ _ _ So this isn't a gig with attitude it's a gig with altitude
_ [G] It's the only joke I prepared for the evening.
It didn't go very well
so
freewheeling from here _
_ [G] _ _ [C] This song stood by me through many a long year
_ [G] _ _ It sprang [D] from well for many things but from an adventure I had in America where the the bus driver
lost his mind and
Abandoned us in the middle of nowhere just drove off with all our equipment belongings and everything just left us
standing there
open-mouthed
We had to call the police and chase him down the highway
Anyway, yeah, the touring simply [E] touring's improved
[G] Things have got better
[C] _ [G] But as we were walking around that night with with no possessions _
300 miles in the wrong direction
_ _ [A] This freight train went past
I don't know if anyone's ever been to the States and seen one of these things
They're like they stretch from right here to Zurich
You know, they just go on and on and on and they just let they let out this incredible [D] sound
It's a freight train sound which I'm not gonna try and [C] do for you
Like a [D] foghorn type thing
And it went right into me this thing and it crops up in this song.
This is called flame turns blue
[G] _ I _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [D] _ _ [G] _ _
_ Went looking for someone I left behind _
_ Yeah, but no one just a stranger did I find I
_ [D] Never noticed.
I hadn't seen it.
Is [C] it grill? _
[G] The void between us where the flame [G] turns blue
_ Different places.
Well, they are much the same _
_ Dreams of faces in the streets devoured by names
_ [D] I'm in collision with every stone I [C] ever threw and
_ [Bm] [G] blind ambition where the flame blue _
_ _ words dismantled and all the books unveiled
_ _ _ Conversation though, we had another sound I
_ [D] Heard a rumor and I don't [C] know if it's true
_ [G] That you'd meet me when the flame turns blue.
_ Oh right now
_ [A] _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [A] _ [D] _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ So I venture underneath the land sky
_ See the freight train with its one fierce eye
_ [D] And then I listen as the tears [C] the night and
[G] Where the whistle and the flame blue
In the morning, I will [Bm] sing
_ _ [A] _ [C] _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ [G] _
In the morning, I [Bm] will say
_ _ [C] Yeah _
_ _ [D] _ Do _ [G] _ _
_ the lemon trees the diamonds of light _
_ Breaking splinters on the pages where I write
_ [D] That if I lost you, I don't know [C] what I do _
[G] But burn forever where the flame turns blue _
_ [D] Yeah, if I lost you I don't know [C] what I do
_ [A] [G] Burn forever where the flame turns blue
In the morning, I will say
[Bm] _ In _ [C] _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
the morning, I will say
[Bm] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
[D] My
_ _ _ _ [G] _
Say
[Bm] _ _ _ _ [D] Yeah _
_ _ _ _ [A] _ _ [G] _ _
_ [Bm] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ _ [Bb] _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
