Blue Skies And Teardrops

Key of A · Chords: I IV V

Chorus

     A                       D  A
Blue skies and teardrops got me down
    A   E                             A
And the wheat straw in the wind keeps blowing round and round.
      A                    D   A
Miles full of emptiness is all I’ve found
    E                                A
And the road says you’ve got to move along.

Verse 1

     A                       D   A
Does anybody passing by know how I feel?
   A       E                    A
As another morning settles like the dust behind my heels
   A                             D    A
In the shadow of a restless soul born on wheels
    E                              A
I’m bound to sing the highway’s in the song.

Verse 2

    A                                      D    A
Now the wandering song within me is a song I’ve learned
     A E                                    A
When I heard the freight trains whistle and my head was turned
    A                             D  A
The carefree chorus of that liner as she burned
    E                                   A
Now the lineman says you’ve got to move along.

Verse 3

    A                                D     A
Now I left the years and miles lying where they fell
      E                                          A
Among the book my soul was written and the tales my shoes could tell
  A                                 D    A
I left them lying there for someone else to tell
    E                                A
And the road says you’ve got to move along.
