Chords for Sky Blue and Black - Jackson Browne

_ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] And the calling out to one [Bm] another of the lovers up and down the strand.
_ _ [C] The sound of the waves and the [D] cries of the seagulls circling the sand.
_ [G] _ The fragments of the songs carried [Em] down the wind from some radio.
_ [C] _
The murmuring of the city in the [Dm] distance, _ ominous and low.
_ [Eb] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Abm] _ _ _ And _ _
_ _ [N] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Em] _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ the calling out to one [Em] another of the lovers up and down the strand. _
_ [C] The sound of the waves and the cries of the [D] seagulls circling the sand.
_ [G] _
The fragments of the songs carried down [Em] the wind from some radio.
_ _ [C] _ The murmuring of the city in the [D] distance, _ ominous and low. _
_ [G] _ _ I hear the sound [Bm] of the world where we play.
_ [C] And the far too simple beauty [D] of the promises we made.
_ _ [Em] _ _ If you ever [C] need holding, [G] _ _ _ _
call my name [A] and I'll be there.
[D] _ _ [Em] _ _ If you ever [C] need holding, [G] _ _ _
no holding back.
_ I'll [A] see you through _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
sky _ [Em] _ _ blue and black.
_ [C] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [G]
Where the touch of the lover ends [Bm] and the soul of the friend begins.
[C] There's a need to be separate and a need to be one [D] and a struggle neither wins.
[G] _ Where you gave me the world I was [Em] in and a place I could make a stand.
[C] I could never see how you doubted me [E] when I let [D] go of your hand.
_ [G] _ And _ I [Em] was much younger then.
_ _ [C] And I must have thought that I would know [D] if things were gonna end.
_ [Em] _ _ _ The heavens were [C] _ _ rolling like [G] _ _ _ a wheel on [D] a train.
_ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _
And our [C] sky was [G] unfolding. _
_ _ _ _ _ It'll never [D] fold.
_ _ Sky [G] _
blue _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _
and black.
_ [C] _ _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _
[Em] I'd have fought the world for [G] you _ if _ _ _ [Em] I thought [Bm] that you wanted [C] me to. _ _ _
_ [Em] I'd put aside what was true or [C] _ untrue.
_ _ [Em] If I'd known that's what you _ [D] needed. _
What you needed me [G] to do. _ _
But the moment [Em] has passed by me now.
[C] To have put away my [G] pride and just [A] come through for you somehow.
[D] _ _ [Em] _ _
If you ever _ [C] need holding, [G] _ _
_ _ _ call my name [D] and _ I'll be there.
If [Em] _
_ you [G] ever _ need holding, _ _ _ no holding back, I'll [D] see you through. _ _ _
[G] _ You're the color of the sky reflected [Em] in each storefront windowpane.
_ [A] [C] You're the whispering and the [D] sighing of my tires in the rain.
_ [G] _ You're the hidden cost and the thing [Em] that's lost in everything I do.
[C] _
_ _ _ [G] And _ [D] _ _
_ I'll never stop [G] looking for you.
_ _ _ [Em] _ _ _ _ _
_ [C] _ The sunlight and the [G] shadows [D] and the faces _ on the [G]
avenue.
_ _ _ _ [Bm] _ That's the way love _ [C] is. _ _ _
_ [D] _ That's the way love _ [G] is.
_ _ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _
That's the way love _ _ [C] _ is.
_ _ [D] _ Sky _ _ blue [G] and black.
_ _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
