Parts of it seem to be not quite right (especially the part where Elvis is stating whose turn it is to do what). Improvements are more than welcome. --Mark --------------------------------------------------------------------- [Intro stays on D] D (xx0232@1) G (320003@1) D (xx0232@1)Now it's just you and me, my blue friend D (xx0232@1)And you say that it's you that she's thinking of G (320003@1) F#7 (242352@1)And our affair must end D (xx0232@1)But if it's you that she's thinking of G (320003@1) F#7 (242352@1)I think my broken heart might mend G (320003@1) F#m (244222@1) Em (022000@1) DNow (xx0232@1)it's my turn to talk and your turn to think G (320003@1) A (x02220@1) D (xx0232@1) GYour (320003@1)turn to buy and my turn to drink G (320003@1) F#m (244222@1) Em (022000@1) DYour (xx0232@1)turn to cry and my turn to sink G (320003@1) Em (022000@1)Down in the Blue Chair G (320003@1) A (x02220@1) D (xx0232@1)Down in the Blue Chair Now I've made up my mind I've made my mistake And I know that she cries for you When she's barely awake Well she's going to bend your mind Well I hope it don't break [Repeat chorus] EmDown (022000@1)in the Blue Chair F#m (244222@1) GWe (320003@1)can watch our troubles rise F#m (244222@1) EmLike (022000@1)smoke into the air A (x02220@1) DAnd (xx0232@1)drift up to the ceiling EmDown (022000@1)in the Blue Chair F#m (244222@1) G (320003@1) F#mYou (244222@1)can feel just like a boy or a man Em (022000@1) A (x02220@1) DAnd (xx0232@1)next minute you can find yourself kneeling F#mDown (244222@1)in the Blue Chair G#m (133111@4) A (x02220@1) G#mThey're (133111@4)boasting of loving the daylights F#m (244222@1) G#m (133111@4) Bmright (x24432@1)out of her in the small hours EmDown (022000@1)in the Blue Chair F#m (244222@1) G (320003@1) F#mYou (244222@1)say that your love lasts forever Em (022000@1) G (320003@1) A (x02220@1) A/G (302220@1)A/F# (202220@1) A/Ewhen (002220@1)you know the night just hours uh ho ho ho ho ho And still I want her right now Not any minute, hour or day And wherever she is tonight I want her anyway I suppose she never said to you, You were just in the way G (320003@1) F#m (244222@1) Em (022000@1) DNow (xx0232@1)it's my turn to talk and your turn to think G (320003@1) A (x02220@1) D (xx0232@1) GYour (320003@1)turn to buy and my turn to drink G (320003@1) F#m (244222@1) Em (022000@1) DYour (xx0232@1)turn to cry and my turn to sink G (320003@1) Em (022000@1)Down in the Blue Chair G (320003@1) A (x02220@1) D (xx0232@1)Down in the Blue Chair G (320003@1) Bm (x24432@1)Down in the Blue Chair Bb (x1333x@1) A (x02220@1) D (xx0232@1) [N.C.] Down in the Blue Chair G (320003@1) A (x02220@1) D (xx0232@1)Down in the Blue Chair G (320003@1) A (x02220@1) D (xx0232@1)Down in the Blue Chair G (320003@1) A (x02220@1) B7 (x21202@1)Down in the Blue Chair Em (022000@1) F#m (244222@1) Down in the blue G (320003@1) Bm (x24432@1)Blue becomes you G (320003@1) A (x02220@1) D (xx0232@1)Down in the Blue Chair From: kevinmoore@cruz.com (Kevin Moore) This is definitely a challenging one: Here's what I got : > G (320003@1) F#m7 (131141@2) C/E (x3111x@5) D>Now (xx0232@1)it's my turn to talk and your turn to think >G A (x02220@1) A#aug (x1333x@1) Bmi>Your (x2022x@1)turn to buy and my turn to drink >G F#m7 (131141@2) C/E (x3111x@5) D>Your (xx0232@1)turn to cry and my turn to sink ... C/E would just be a normal C chord with an open E in the bass. (EC uses C/E a lot) The A# augmented chord is weird and has something else in it, possible an open E? My best guess for a fingering would be: E string: deadened A string: 1st finger on 1st fret D string: 4th finger on 4th fret G string: 2nd finger on 3rd fret B string: 3rd finger on 3rd fret E string: Open I don't know, though-I've never seen Elvis live-sigh-I have a laser disc of The Juliet Letters, but of course he doesn't play guitar on that one. The bridge is also strange-you have the right bassline: E F# G F# E (B) A D, but I think the chord just stays on Emi, although some instrument other than the guitar keeps hinting at D#'s [The early 70's dylan inflections are beautiful in this section] The second part of the bridge (boasting of loving the daylights...) sounds like the first part transposed up a whole step, so F#mi, F#mi/G#, F#mi/A, etc. Then back to the Emi and then when he says "you know the night just hours" [what does he mean by that?] the bass goes: E and then in 8th notes: F# G F# G, still all against some kind of Emi. I'm just playing the bass line and plucking the G B and E strings open for the E mi On the F#mi part, I'm barring the 2nd fret to get the 3 highest strings and then playing the bassline on the low string. Your descending bassline coming down against the A chord is right, as is the rest of the transcription. I hope my carriage returns aren't coming out weird. Let me know. Now I've got to go buy the CD to hear it better. I was going to wait for the box set reissues to get to this album. Does anyone know when the next box set is due to be released?
