“The Blue Skies Above America” by Bloodkin

From the album “Last Night Out”

[Verse 1]
E B Bb7
well, I woke up in the back seat
A E
of a dark green Buick peeling out again
E B Bb7
well, I woke up in the back seat
A E
the story was just about to begin
E B Bb7
the driver was a girl from my home town
A E
she had them stars and stripes sewn on her jeans
E B Bb7
the driver was a girl from my home town
A E
she was my only family

[Verse 2]
E B Bb7
we were looking for Las Vegas
A E
we were going to make that diamond shine
E B Bb7
we were looking for Las Vegas
A E
you betcha I was going to make her mine

[Chorus]
E B Bb7
the blue skies above America
A E
are filling up with the Devil's crows
E B Bb7
in the blue skies above America
A E
I can't see her anymore
A E
hey man I can't see at all

[Verse 3]
E B Bb7
I went back to sleep and in my dreams
A E
she woke up and flew away
E B Bb7
I went back to sleep and in my dreams
A E
we had nothing left to say
E B Bb7
now she's picking bones in Baghdad
A E
she's a-feasting on that rotten fruit
E B Bb7
now she's picking bones in Baghdad
A E
telling lies about her twisted roots

[Verse 4]
E B Bb7
she's running drugs and slaves to pay her tab
A E
for that crude oil hypo in her vein
