“symphony in blue”

from 1978’s “lionheart”

intro : Gmaj7 Dm7 Gmaj7 Dm7

Gmaj7 Em C
i spent a lot of my time looking at blue ,

Cm G
the colour of my room and my mood :

A# Am
blue on the walls , blue out of my mouth;

G A# Am
the sort of blue between clouds , when the sun comes out ,

G A# Am Gmaj7 Gm7 Dm7
the sort of blue in those eyes you get hung up about .

Gmaj7 Fm Em7
when that feeling of meaninglessness sets in ,

Cm7 G
go blowing my mind on god :

A# Am
the light in the dark , with the neon arms ,

G A# Am G
the meek he seeks , the beast he calms ,

A# Am G
the head of the good soul department .

Gm G Gm G4 G ( add9 )

A# Fm
i see myself suddenly

D7 F7sus4
on the piano , as a melody .

A# D7
my terrible fear of dying

D# D
no longer plays with me ,

Gm Fm D#maj7
for now i know that i’m needed

D7
for the symphony .

Gm Dm7 Gm Dm7

( same as verse )
i associate love with red ,
the colour of my heart when she’s dead;
red in my mind when the jealousy flies ,
red in my eyes from emotional ties ,
manipulation , the danger signs .

( same as verse )
the more i think about sxx , the better it gets .
here we have a purpose in life :
good for the blood circulation ,
good for releasing the tension ,
the root of our reincarnations .

( same as refrain )
i see myself suddenly
on the piano , as a melody .
my terrible fear of dying
no longer plays with me ,
for now i know that i’m needed
for the symphony .

Gmaj7 Em C
i spend a lot of my time looking at blue – –

Cm7 G A# Am
no wonder that i blew it!

G A# Am Gmaj7 Gm7 Dm7
ooh . . .
