Move Away Jimmy Blue Tabs

(ver. 2)
Del Amitri
This another Song of the 1989 album "waking hours" by Del Amitri. 
Beside "this side of morning" and "nothing ever happens" it is one 
of my favourites. I figured it out by ear, so it might be different


Some hints for the notation:

1. ===    hold note
2. ==3==  triplet

(strum from now on)

 F#        E
away Jimmy Blue 

            F#                       E 
Before your small, small town turns around 


             B
and swallows you.

        B              E
A drunk mother was the clue

           B                         E
Before the legendary things that you do

           B                  E
Behind the carnival tent with mud on your face

           B                E
behind the old glue factory too



        F#         E
So move away Jimmy Blue

            F#                       E
before your small, small town turns around

             B
and swallows you.



B                    E
  Wet feet visit the same old places

B                 E
  Finding nothing new

       B                      E  
It's a binful of tissues from made-up faces

    B                       E
in a townfull of nothing to do

  F#                 E
A lovematch with the moon

     F#                   E
in a layby, while insects hum
                       F#                   E
and you got put in the darkness of a womans womb

      B    E B E
Jimmy Blue


        B     E
So move away, yeh

        B     E
So move away, yeh

         B         E
So move away Jimmy Blue

           F#                        E
before your small, small town turns around
            
and swallows 


         ==3==  ==3==                   ==3==  ==3==
