Chords for Jolie Holland - Mexican Blue (fan video)

[G] You're [D] like a [A] science [C] song to me
[G] I'll try to [D] sing it pure [A] [Am] and [C] easily
[G] You're [D] like a [A] Mexican [Am] blue
[C] So [G] bright and [D] clear and pale [A] in [Am] the [C] afternoon
[G] I saw [D] you riding [A] on your [Am] [C] bike
[G] In a cord [D] I wore a jacket [A] [Am] in that [C] night
_ [G]
Past [D] the hat [A] ranges [Am] that were [C] blooming in the alley
[G] With a galloping [D] dog [A] by [Am] your [C] side
[G] When [D] I was hungry [A] you [Am] [C] fed me
[G] I don't mean to [D] suggest that [A] I'm [Am] like Jesus [C] Christ
[G]
Your [D] light _ [A] [Am] overwhelms [C] me
When I [G] lay beside [D] you sleepless [A] in [Am] the night
[C] _
[G] And when [D] you dreamed my [A] guardian [Am] [C] spirits appeared
[G] I'm _ [D] unstressed [A] out [Am] across [D] your little [G] bed
They [D] said they started [Am] to get worried [C] about me
[G] They were happy [D] we had [Am] finally met
[C] We had [G] finally met
[D] _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
[G] _ _ [D] _ _ _ [Am] _ [C] A [G] mysterious [D] _ [A] bird [Am] flies [C] away
[G] _ [D] Seem to be [A] calling [Am] your [C] name
[G] And [D] bounced off the [A] [Am] top of a [D] towering [G] pine
And [D] vanished in the [A] drizzling [Am] [C] rain _
[G] There's [D] a mockingbird [A] [Am] behind my [C] house
[G] Who's a magician [D] of the [A] [Am] highest [C] degree
[G] And [D] I swear I [Am] heard him rip [C] the world [G] apart
And sew it back [D] again with [Am] his fiery [C] melody
[G] _ _ [D] _ Melody
[Am] _ _ [C] _
_ [G] _ _ [D] _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ [G] When [D] you were mad [C] at me I didn't [G] care
And I just [D] loved you [Am] all the [C] same
[G] And I [D] waited for the wind [C] to push the hurricane [G] out to [D] sea
And the sun could [Am] shine [C] again _
[G] _ [D] Oh I don't [C] mean to give you [G] advice
It's [D] just like you did [C] your side of Jesus [G] Christ
Just [D] don't get [C] so high
Leave the [G] ground
_ [D] Everything's so [C] much better when [G] you're around
[D] _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
[G] Just [D] don't fall [C] so high
You're just a [G]
waste [D] of time
[C] With your fate on the [G] ground
I [D] love your songs
[C] I love your [G] sounds
Everything [D] is so [C] much better [G] when you're [D] around
_ [Am] _ _ [C] _ _ [G] _ _
_ [D] _ _ [C] _ _ [G] While the [D] moon is as clear [Am] as an [C] opal
[G] And the [D] amethyst river [Am] sings [C] a song
[G] I'll remember [D]
all the [Am] dreams and the [C] mysteries
[G] You have borne in [D] your [Am] crystalline [C] song
[G] That you sing [D] from your [Am] golden [C] throat
That [G] you shine [D] from your [Am] sparkle of [C] light
[G] That you feel [D] from the gutters on [C] your [G] thighs Oh
_ [D] _ [Am] Oh
[C] _ _ [G] _ _ _ [D] _ _ [Am] _
[C] _ _ [G] You're [D] like a saint's [A] song to [G] me
I'll try to sing [Bm] it pure [Em] and [C] easily
[G] You're like a [Am] Mexican blow [C] you
[G] So bright and [D] clear and pale [Am] in the [C] afternoon
[G] And in the [D] _ [Em] afternoon
[Am] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
