Blues Never Fade Away Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am]He wasn'[G]t famo[C]us but
I sure did [G]love him
I've got his [F]picture in a little [C]frame
He lost his life to a big dis[G]ease
before it [F]even [C]had a name
But there's [Dm]so many more
and [G]I've lost count
The [Em]hows and whys aren't
import[Am]ant now
All [D]that matters is they came around
[G]And brightened up our lives
[C]

[Verse 2]
She was twenty one with [G]her life ahead
You don't [F]need to know [C]her name
She breathed her last on the cold stone
[G]floor of a [F]Hollywood ar[C]cade
But fate's [Dm]right hand isn't al[G]ways just
Puts [Em]a lot of pressure on
[Am]your faith and trust
She was [D]just a little girl ain't that enough
[G]To rage against the day
[C]

[Verse 3]
And [F]how did we get so luck[C]y?
[G]Targets on the rifle [Am]range
[F]Who makes the call and
[C]who gets to choose?
[G]Who gets to win and who [Am]gets to lose?
It's like [F]a rolling dice in
[C]the belly of the blues
And [E]blues never fade [Am]away
Hey, [C]hey, hey,
the [F]colors run when the [C]rain falls
But [E]blues never fade away
[Am]

[Verse 4]
He shone [G]so [C]bright with a lust for [G]life
Like [F]the Sun King that he [C]was
His passions hung upon his [G]walls
and [F]were printed onto [C]cloth
And [Dm]for reasons I never [G]understood
About [Em]the choices made between
[Am]the bad and good
I've tried to [D]figure out but
[G]The pain never goes away
[C][F][C]

[Verse 5]
And [F]how did we get so luck[C]y?
[G]Targets on the rifle [Am]range
[F]Who makes the call and
[C]who gets to choose?
[G]Who gets to win and who [Am]gets to lose?
It's like [F]a rolling dice in
the [C]belly of the blues
And [E]blues never fade [Am]away
Hey, hey, hey,
the col[F]ors run when [C]the rain falls
But [E]blues never fade away
[Am]

[Verse 6]
And there's [E]marble markers
and [Am]little white crosses
[E]Along the beaten [Am]path
And [F]I've spread their ashes [C]on the wind
And I mis[G]s John Lennon's laugh
[Am]

[Verse 7]
And [F]how did we get so luck[C]y?
[G]Targets on the rifle [Am]range
[F]Who makes the call and
[C]who gets to choose?
[G]Who gets to win and [Am]who gets to lose?

[Verse 8]
And [F]how did we get so luck[C]y?
[G]Targets on the rifle [Am]range
Who [F]makes the call and
[C]who gets to choose?
[G]Who gets to win and [Am]who gets to lose?
It's like a [F]rolling dice in
the [C]belly of the blues
And [E]blues never fade [Am]away
Hey, hey, [C]hey,
all the col[F]ors run when the [C]rain falls
And [E]blues never fade away

[Outro 1]
