Killing The Blues
Written by Roly Jon Salley
Recorded by Alison Krauss & Robert Plant

(No Capo)

Intro.:  (D) x 4 bars

Leaves were (D)falling, just like embers, in colors red and gold, they set us on (G)fire
Burning just like (D)moonbeams in our eyes.

(Chorus)
(A)Somebody said they saw me, (D)swinging the world by the tail (G)
Bouncing over a white (D) cloud, (A) killing the blues. (D)

Now I'm (D)guilty of something, I hope you never do because there is (G)nothing
Sadder than (D)losing yourself in love.

(Chorus)
(A)Somebody said they saw me, (D)swinging the world by the tail (G)
Bouncing over a white (D) cloud, (A) killing the blues. (D)

Inst.:  ||(D) |(D) |(D) |(D) |(G) |(G) |(D) |(D) ||
        ||(A) |(A) |(D) |(G) |(D) |(A) |(D) |(D)

Now you (D)ask me, just to leave you to go out on my own and get what I (G)need to.
You want me to (D)find what I've already had.

(Chorus)
(A)Somebody said they saw me, (D)swinging the world by the tail (G)
Bouncing over a white (D) cloud, (A) killing the blues. (D)

(Chorus)
(A)Somebody said they saw me, (D)swinging the world by the tail (G)
Bouncing over a white (D) cloud, (A) killing the blues. (D) -----
