Rhythm Of The Blues

{intro} I can hear the rain come down, I can listen with my heart I can see with both eyes closed in the dark Sleep will come in just a while but till it does I choose To listen to the rain, it's the rhythm of the blues I walk along these streets of home that once belonged to us And now baby I walk alone and I am lost In the sound of my own footsteps on the avenues I guess I'm only walking to rhythm of the blues I don't wanna hear another word spoken, I don't wanna see another tear shed I can't seem to fix what's broken, like this record baby in my head {instrumental} Lonely looks as bad on me as lonely looks on you And still we keep on moving to the rhythm of the blues I want a place to call my own, where you have never been I wanna look around and know you won't be coming back again On some pretense paper-thin that I can see right through You come and go baby, like the rhythm of the blues You come and go baby, like the rhythm of the blues You come and go baby, like the rhythm of the blues... {end on TABLATURE --------- {Note that the tab parts are written as if there is a capo at the fifth fret, since this is how John Jennings plays the song. I'm not sure that these are the _exact_ fingerings that Jennings uses, but they work.} INTRO: {This is played twice, more or less. The notes in parentheses are probably played by the other guitar. The "strum" markers note places where there's a noticable strum, but I don't know on which notes.} E ------s---------|----------------|----------------|----------s-----| B ------t---------|----------------|----------------|------1---t-----| G ------r-----O---|----------------|----------------|----O-----r-----| D ------u---O2--O-|----------------|----------------|--3-------u-----| A 3-----m---------|----------3-2-O-|-----(O)--------|----------m-O-2-| E ----------------|----------------|-----------(3=5)|----------------| ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ .
