REX’S BLUES
GUY CLARK


INTRO  D  G  D  G

D                  G        D
RIDE THE BLUE WIND HIGH AND FREE
D                         G    D
SHE’LL LEAD YOU DOWN THRU MISERY
D                  G       D
LEAVE YOU LOW COME TIME TO GO
D                G       D
ALONE AND LOW AS LOW CAN BE

IF I HAD A NICKEL, I’D FIND A GAME
IF I HAD A DOLLAR, I’D MAKE IT RAIN
IF IT RAINED AN OCEAN, I’D DRINK IT DRY
AND LAY ME DOWN DISSATISFIED

LEGS TO WALK AND THOUGHTS TO FLY
EYES TO LAUGH AND LIPS TO CRY
A RESTLESS TONGUE TO CLASSIFY
ALL BORN TO GROW AND GROWN TO DIE

TELL MY BABY I SAID SO LONG
TELL MY MOTHER I DID NO WRONG
TELL MY BROTHER TO WATCH HIS OWN
TELL MY FRIENDS TO MOURN ME NONE

CHAINED UPON THE FACE OF TIME
FEELING FULL OF FOOLISH RHYME
THERE AIN’T NO DARK TILL SOMETHIN SHINES
I’M BOUND TO LEAVE THIS DARK BEHIND

RIDE THE BLUE WIND HIGH AND FREE
SHE’LL LEAD YOU DOWN THRU MISERY
LEAVE YOU LOW COME TIME TO GO
ALONE AND LOW AS LOW CAN BE


A pretty simple Guy Clark tune..there is some mandolin playing for fill but I ain't no mando player.

This is a Townes Van Zandt Tune, Written for Rex who owned the Old Quater in Houston. Townes Said " If Rex was playing High card with someone and they drew a 3 Rex would draw a 2" great song and good job tabbing it out

Thanks for the info..I didn't know it was a TVZ tune..Sounds better with a mando backup too.
