Bluebird Cafe Chords

(ver. 1)
John Waite
[Verse 1]
      Bmin6          C            D     G
Her I.D. says she's 21, but she's just 17
    Em         D             G
Her apron says Mary, but her real name is Jean
      Bmin6   C                          D           G
She's working cleaning tables ofD at the local Dairy Queen
              Em         D   G
And she's the real thing - yeah
 
[Chorus]
Em     D             G    D        Cadd9
 Young hearts can fly restless and wild
              D
Though it's a thousand days away
Em     D        G              D      Cadd9
 She's got the will and she'll find a way
       D                       Bmin6 C D G
To the stage of the Bluebird Cafe
       Em             D         G
To the stage of the Bluebird Cafe
 
[Verse 2]
              Bmin6      C                  D              G
She's got her boyfriends name carved in the back of her guitar
       Em             D           G
It's a beat up old Epiphone with painted on stars
              Bmin6    C                          D         G
She wears her brother's five-o-one's and keeps her tips in a jar
     Em         D           G
By a picture of Patsy Cline - she's fine
 
[Chorus]
Em     D             G    D        Cadd9
 Young hearts can fly restless and wild
              D
Though it's a thousand days away
Em     D        G              D      Cadd9
 She's got the will and she'll find a way
       D                       Bmin6 C D G
To the stage of the Bluebird Cafe        Yeah
       Em             D         G
To the stage of the Bluebird Cafe
 
C                  D        G
She's into country body and soul
    C                  D          Em
But nobody's future is written in stone
       C                              D             Em
And to get what she wants she's gonna have to walk alone
        Cadd9  D              Bmin6     C D G
And she will - all the way to Nashville
       Em    D G         Bmin6 C D G Em D G
To Nashville   Yeah Yeah
 
[Verse 3]
          Bmin6           C                 D               G
She comes out of work some nights, stops and stares down the road
Em               D                       G
 Through the heat and the crickets and the telegraph poles
Bmin6       C               D            G
 Out in the darkness Hank's Blue Highway calls
Em           D          G
 And she just stops and smiles - Yeah
 
[Chorus]
Em     D             G    D        Cadd9
 Young hearts can fly restless and wild
              D
Though it's a thousand days away
Em     D        G              D      Cadd9
 She's got the will and she'll find a way
       D                       Bmin6 C D G
To the stage of the Bluebird Cafe        Yeah
       Em             D         G
To the stage of the Bluebird Cafe
Bmin6  C                D             G
 She's got the will and she'll find a way
       Em           D          G
To the stage of the Bluebird Cafe
