Blue Sky

Ralph Simpson always accompanied me on his flute when I played at the Red Cow in Cambridge 40 0dd years ago, so when he came to visit I gave him this song to play along with. Unfortunately his flute needed a service so he scored me what he would have played instead....

(D A° G (maj7) Bm+5 A D ) intro

D A° G (maj7) F° D
Blue Sky stay with me sometime, don’t let the night roll in
D A° G (maj7) F° A D
My my play me some runtime, come let the flight begin

Stairway aimless ascension, there is no other course
Hot day blameless contention, taking it from the source

G F#m D F#m G
I see you me walking into the sun
G F#m D G(6-maj7) F#° A° G A D
One kiss true bliss glorious feeling head over heels in love in love

(D A° G (maj7) Bm+5 A D )

Hold tight live for the moment live for the lovers’ song
Forthright deep in the zone and swinging the time along
Thrill me through to my soul and carry my heart away
Guilty lost in the role and what more is there to say
