Jay Farrar - Rexs Blues Chords

Kelly Willis      Rex's Blues  written by Townes Van Zandt
Jay Farrar 

E                  A        E
Ride the blue wind high and free
E                   A       E
It'll lead you down through misery
E              A            E    
Leave you low, come time to go
          A              E    A  E   
Alone and low as low can be
E                     A      E
If I had a nickel I'd find a game
E                     A       E
If I won a dollar I'd make it rain
E                         A        E
If it rained an ocean I'd drink it dry
           A            E   A  E
And lay me down dissatisfied
E                 A          E
Legs to walk and thoughts to fly
                  A       E
Eyes to laugh and lips to cry
                     A    E
A restless tongue to classify
E            A                E   A  E
All born to grow and grown to die

SOLO

E                A      E
tell my mother I did no wrong
E                 A       E
So tell my baby I said so long
E                  A         E
Tell my brother to watch his own
            A                   E    A
And tell my friends to mourn me none
E                    A       E
I'm chained upon the face of time
E               A       E
Feelin' full of foolish rhyme
E                         A           E
There ain't no dark till something shines
             A               E     A   E  A
I'm bound to leave this dark behind
E                  A         E
Ride the blue wind high and free
E                           A    E
It'll lead you down through misery
E                   A       E
Leave you low, come time to go
          A              E
Alone and low as low can be
