Strange Street Affair Under Blue
(Beckett/Buckley)

TIM BUCKLEY
From Tim Buckley, 1966

Verse 1:
G (320003@1)                    CmJust (x3101x@1)for you with your open hands
F (133211@1)             G (320003@1)   D (xx0232@1)GWaiting (320003@1)for the touch of man
(G)                 CmClutching (x3101x@1)with your blackened gloves
F (133211@1)                G (320003@1) D (xx0232@1) GYou (320003@1)try to capture all the doves
     G (320003@1)  D (xx0232@1)name="chord_320003@1">G
That flee into
    Cm (x3101x@1)     GThe (320003@1)forest before you

Verse 2:
You wish to catch and cage me now
I wonder if you remember how
Hard it was to say the names
Of mirror dreams and cheated games
And on the wall
You framed your first lover

Verse 3:
Your form intrigues me with the glow
I'll remember you I know
Though I forgot to lock the chain
Around you with a prayer for rain
To bring the call
To drive you back into my bed

DAhhh.... (xx0232@1)She turns away
Telling me to follow for a while
Ahhh....
She waits

Cm (x3101x@1)                DYou'd (xx0232@1)be touched if you would touch
Cm (x3101x@1)         DBut (xx0232@1)you only reach and taunt
G (320003@1)                CmWill (x3101x@1)my taste stay grey and blue
F (133211@1)         G (320003@1)  D (xx0232@1)  GIf (320003@1)I try to turn from you

****
Listen to the song to find out how it goes.
The intro is just electric guitars over a G chord.
I could have tabbed it, but, oh well...
