New Blues

[Chords]
     D   Am   G6    C   G
E|---0---0----0-----0---3--| 
B|---3---1----8-----1---0--| 
G|---0---1----0-----0---0--| 
D|---4---2----9-----2---0--| 
A|---5---0----10----3---2--| 
E|----------------------3--| 

Note that the band tunes a half-step down for live performances. The studio recording is two 
steps down.

The chord names are written as if they were in standard tuning - that Am chord in the chorus is 
actually a Gm,
but it's an Am shape so that's how I've written it.

***** The D is actually a Dadd9add11 (Ultimate Guitar didn't like that).
Just play an open C slid up two frets, meanwhile the G6 is an open C shape rooted on G.

This is Graham's rythym guitar part. Josh plays the same chords in Verse 1, except instead
of the G6 he plays a standard open G (I use standard G because it sounds more full when playing 
alone).

Josh's solo is based off the verse melody. For reference, I start on the twelfth fret of the B 
string,
up to the twelfth fret of the E string, then down to the tenth fret of the E string, and work 
off of that.

[Verse 1]

D
I've been low

I've been down
Am                                  G6
And I don't want to go there anymore

D
The sky is white

The grass is gold
    Am                                G6
And I can't make my shadow out at all
   D
Oh babe, they're gonna tell us

What we can and cannot do
 Am                                  G6
Babe, they're gonna feed us to the fire
D
I can dance

And you can sing
Am                                      G6
You know that's never going to have us down


[Chorus]
      C
I got
         G
New blues
      C
And my
         G
New blues


[Verse 2]
D

A battlecry, a mockingbird
    Am                                  G6
The same thing happens every single time
D
    It's in my heart

It's in my soul
     Am                             G6
For once I don't want it to be denied
     D
Oh, no one's gonna tell us who we will and will not be
Am                                 G6
No one's gonna show us to the door
D
'Cause I've been low

And I've been down
    Am                              G6
And I don't want to go there anymore

[Chorus]
      C
I got
          G
New Blues
        C
Singing
          G
New Blues

Hey!
