Being a bloke I sing this in A using Capo on 2 If you want to practise along with the recording you will need the Capo on 7 Intro: Me and my shadow we're never apart We know the blues by heart We sing them in the morning with the sun on the rise Sing them at night to star studded skies And I'm not crazy though it looks that way It's just that me and my shadow like to play Blue songs on a red guitar Me and my shadow do a fine routine And it's taking the aching right out of my heart Playing blues on a red guitar Well I talk to the walls, but the walls never hear My pillow won't dry up none of my tears But when the night comes down and my shadow comes out She knows what all of this heartaches about And I'm not afraid of the darkness you see It's only my shadow that's following me - singing Blue songs on a red guitar Me and my shadow do a fine routine And it's taking the aching right out of my heart Playing blues on a red guitar And I will not be denied my sorrow I've earned the right to feel his way Maybe I will change my tune tomorrow But just tonight I think I'll play Blue songs on a red guitar Me and my shadow do a fine routine And it's taking the aching right out of my heart Playing blues on a red guitar And it's taking the aching right out of my heart Playing blues - on a red - guitar Enjoy ~ John Kerry
