a-ha - Bluest Of Blue

[Intro]
C

[Verse 1]
C Em
What you gonna hold against her now
Dm G F
Would you rather were to sing her praises?
C Em
Working from the stern right up to the bow
Dm G F
Learning how to find her secret places
C Em
What you gonna say as they shut their eyes?
Dm G F
Yearning to remain in their good graces
C Em
Will you smell the sea, will you see the sky?
Dm G F
Painted on their young and hopeful faces

[Pre-Chorus]
G
Something to believe
Em Am
Somewhere to be free
Dm G C
A sanctuary at sea

[Chorus]
F C/E Dm C
Blue, blue as the bluest of hues
G/B C
In the sea as she sails on by
F C/E Dm C
True, true like the truest of true
G/B C
In her eyes as she waves goodbye
Dm G
Truest of true
Dm G
Bluest of blue

[Verse 2]
C Em
How you gonna tell this story now?
Dm G F
It’s getting so much harder to cover bases
C Em
Say it like it is or just feed them lies
Dm G F
And cover up the truth with your oily phrases

[Pre-Chorus]
G
Something to believe
Em Am
Somewhere to be free
Dm G C
A sanctuary at sea

[Chorus]
F C/E Dm C
Blue, blue as the darkest of hues
G/B C
In the sea as you watch her cry
F C/E Dm C
True, true like the saddest of truth
G/B C
In her eyes as she says goodbye
Dm G
Truest of true
Dm G
Bluest of blue

[Instrumental]
C Em Dm G F
(2x)

[Chorus]
F C/E Dm C
Blue, blue as the bluest of hues
G/B C
In the sea as she sails on by
F C/E Dm C
True, true like the truest of true
G/B C
In her eyes as she waves goodbye
Dm G
Truest of true
Dm G
Bluest of blue
Dm G
Truest of true
Dm G
Bluest of blue
