UNBEARABLY BLUE
                                   ( G. Vannelli )



Gmaj13/D           Bbmaj7/D       Abmaj7/D
Russian blue, yeah russian blue

     Gmaj9/D         Bbmaj7/D    D7-9+9
Like sapphire in the sun

    Gmaj9/D       F#7sus4  F#7
She taunted me so tender   ly

     Ebmaj7/F  F13   Em11   Bb7+11
What speck of  logic I po   sse-e-e-ess

    A11         D7-9+9   Ebmaj7-5
Was hard on the run

  Gmaj13/D             Bbmaj7/D        Abmaj7/D
I begged myself, don't give an inch

      Gmaj13/D          Bbmaj7/D    Gbmaj7addC
Don't wrestle with them eyes

    Gmaj7/D           F#11   F#7
One fatal glance, one look askance

Ebmaj9/F  F13    Em11
Will only end in sorrow

C/Bb     A11       Ebmaj7-5  Eb6-5
Oh, dear boy, be advised

         Gmaj7/D        G7-9/D
You're a happy man, and happy man

            Cmaj7/D
Resist what fools might do

                  Gmaj7/D              Db7+9/D
Yeah, right, such noble words would be wise

   Cmaj9/D        Cm6
If only they were true

            Db13-5     C/Bb    B/A   Bb/Ab    F#7+9+5
 'Cause her ey-y-y   eys are so un bearably   blue

Gmaj9/D                  Bbmaj7/D              D7+9-9
        Why it leaves me           stupe fied

    Gmaj9/D           F#7sus4  F#7
The face is flush, my mind is  mush


  Ebmaj7/F  F13      Em11
I oughta    cut and  run

    C/Bb  A11            Ebmaj7-5   Eb6-5
But all I do is slip and slide

         Gmaj7/D     G7-9/D
Seems my body and my soul

                Cmaj7/D          Bm7/D   Cmaj7/D  Cm6/D
Got conflicting points of view

                Gmaj7/D     Db7+9/D
Now then, which master do I serve

   Cmaj7/D      Cm6/D
If I only knew

'Cause he-e-er eyes are so un bearably blue
