Chords for Mary Chapin Carpenter - Songs From Home Episode 15: Rhythm Of The Blues

_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Hi everyone, welcome back to Songs from Home.
We're here at the farm.
_ White Kitty is napping so she probably won't make an appearance today and Angus has just
come in from a really long walk and he's just outside of the frame of the camera just kind
of snoozing away so he probably won't make an appearance either but they are both here
in spirit and they send their best to you, I'm certain of that. _
So I'd like to play an older song today.
This has gotten a few requests and I want to send this one out to my friend and musical
compatriot, Duke Levine, because whenever we get together to play music he always says,
is Rhythm of the [D] Blues on the set list?
So it's on the set list today and I'm delighted. _ _ _
Rhythm of the Blues.
_ _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ [Em] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ [Em] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ I can hear [A] the rain come [Em] down.
I can listen with my heart.
[D] _ I can see you [A] with both eyes _ [Em] closed in the dark.
_ [D] _ [G] _ Sleep will come just a [D] while, [G] love.
If it does, [Bm] I choose to let [D] us into the day.
[B] _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ I walk [A] along these streets of [Em] home that once belonged to us.
[G] _ [D] And now [A] baby I walk [Em] alone, _ and I hide and walk.
_ [D] _ [G] In the sound of my [D] own footsteps [G] _ on the _ avenues I [D] guess I'm through.
_ _ [B] _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [F#m] _ [B] I don't want [G] to hear another [A] word spoken.
[F#m] _ [Bm] I don't [G] want to see [A] another tear [F#m] shed.
[Bm] I can't see [G] them to fix [A] what's [C] broken.
Life is a [G] record game.
_ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ _ [Em] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [D] _ [G] _
Lonely looks as bad on [D] me [G] as lonely looks on you.
It's [D] still the same old.
[Bm] I _ _ [D] _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Bm] _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
want a [A] place to call [Em] my own.
So you have [A] nothing.
[G] _ [D] _ I want to look [A] around and [Em] know you won't be coming back [D] again.
[G] _
On some pretty tense paper, I can see you.
_ Come [D] and go with me.
_ [Bm] _ I can [G] hear you.
_ _ _ _ Come [D] and go with me.
_ [B] _ _ I can [G] hear you.
_ _ _ Come [D] and go.
_ _ [Bm] Come and go.
_ [G] Come and go.
_ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ [F#m] _ [G] _ [D] _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [D#] _ _ [Dm] _ _
_ _ _ [N] Nisha Kondram everybody.
We'll see you the next time.
White Kitty, Angus and myself.
Until then, stay well.
Stay mighty. _ Bye.
