Every blue note that rolled

She whispered in his ear,
and he (G major) heard the thunder

But a (F major) burning, smoldering, (C major)
(F major) (C major) eternal flame
(G major) It was the real thing

And some (B flat major) times at night he
(C major) longs for her whis (D minor) per

Verse 8
In some (A minor) broken down dressing
room in some (G major) ma jor city
The (D major) thunder plays an (G major) old familiar tune

Out (F major) side, be (D major) neath the halo (A minor) moon

Finger on the trigger, needle (G major)
in the vein
(D major) One more bullet, it (G major) might be your last ride (A minor)

(C major) No doubt about it
Who (D minor) cares if they (C major) love you

This is the real (D minor) thing
So you were (C major) put here for a reason
But (F major) what gives (C major) you the right
(F major) to quit when you're tired (C major)
(F major) Anyway boy, (C major) this ain't no (E major) game
This (A minor) is (G major) the real thing
(D major) (G major)
Verse 11
(A minor)
He wore a song around his neck
Like some (G major) medal of honor (D major)
He carried (G major) his wisdom like (A minor) a knife
