The Doors
"Runnin' Blue"
THE SOFT PARADE
By: Dave
This is how I play RUNNIN' BLUE on guitar by The Doors. This was done completely by ear.
Poor Otis dead and gone
Left me here to sing his song
Pretty little girl with a red dress on
Poor Otis dead and gone

VERSE:

Well back down turn around slowly
Try it again
Rememberin' when
It was easy
Try it again
Much too easy
Rememberin' when
CHORUS:
Al-right, look at my shoes
Not quite the walkin' blues
Don't fight too much to lose
Can't fight the runnin' blues
VERSE(same pattern, different lyrics)
POST VERSE:
Otis dead
Runnin blue
Run so fast
What do I do
(then theres a little saxophone thing with no guitar)
