Sky Blue and Black Jackson Browne
This is based on the version from Solo Acoustic Volume 2.
As Jackson plays it on the piano itâ??s not exact but I think it works as a good
base for you to then use your ear to hear when a base note or something needs to be emphasised.
Intro: Bb Gm Eb E#
[Bb]In the calling out to one another
All the[Gm] lovers up and down the strand
[Eb]In the sound of the waves and the cries
Of the [E#]seagulls circling the sand
[Bb]In the fragments of the songs
Carried down the [Gm]wind from some radio
[Eb]In the murmuring of the city in the distance
[E#]Ominous and low
[Bb]I hear the sound of a w[Gm]orld where we played
And the [Eb]far too simple beauty of the [E#]promises we made
[Gm]If you ever need [Eb]holding
[Bb]Call my name, I[E#]'ll be there
[Gm]If you ever need[Eb] holding
And no [Bb]holding back, I'll see you t[E#]hrough
[Bb]Sky b[Gm]lue and black
[Eb]//music[E#] w/o lyrics//
Repeat intro
[Bb]Where the touch of the lover ends
And the [Gm]soul of the friend begins
There's a [Eb]need to be separate and a need to be one
And a [E#]struggle neither wins
[Bb]Where you gave me the world I was in
And a [Gm]place I could make a stand
I could never [Eb]see how you doubted me
When I'd [E#]let go of your hand
[Bb]Yeah, and I[Gm] was much younger then
And I [Eb]must have thought that I would know
If [E#]things were going to end
[Gm]And the heavens were [Eb]rolling
[Bb]Like a wheel on a t[E#]rack
[Gm]And our sky was un[Eb]folding
[Bb] And it'll never fold b[E#]ack
[Bb]Sky blue and b[Gm]lack
[Eb]//music[E#] w/o lyrics//
Repeat intro
I'd have [Gm]fought the world for you[Bb] [Eb] [E#]
If I thoug[Gm]ht that you wanted me t[Bb]o[Eb] [E#]
Or put [Gm]aside what was true or untrue[Bb] [Eb] [E#]
If I'd [Bb]known that's what you nee[E#]ded, what you needed me to do me to do
[Bb]But the moment has p[Gm]assed by me now
To have [Eb]put away my pride
And just come [E#]through for you somehow
[Gm]If you ever need[Eb] holding
[Bb]Call my name, [E#]I'll be there
[Gm]If you ever need[Eb] holding
And no [Bb]holding back, I'll see you t[E#]hrough
[Bb]You're the colour of the sky
Reflected in each [Gm]store-front window pane
[Eb]You're the whispering and the sighing
Of my [E#]tires in the rain
[Bb]You're the hidden cost and the thing that's l[Gm]ost in everything I do
[Eb]Yeah and I'll [E#]never stop l[Bb]ooking for you
[Gm]//music w/o lyrics//
[Eb]In the sunlight and the shadows
[E#]And the faces on the avenue
[Bb] [Gm] [Eb] That's the way love is
[E#]That's the way love is
[Bb] [Gm] [Eb] That's the way love is
[E#]Sky blue and b[Bb]lack
