Subject: CRD: Blues Anthem -- Page/Farlow
Date: 9 Aug 1995 23:55:02 +0200
Someone requested Blues Anthem by Jimmy Page and Chris Farlow. You'll
find the song on Jimmy Page `Outrider' or Chris Farlow `Waiting In The
Wings'. I love especially the a capella version on `Waiting In The
Wings'. The lyrics maybe not right, because I'm not native speaking,
sorry for that.
Peace

Blues Anthem -- Words and Music by Page/Farlow
{Intro}
[[E]] [[E]] [[A]] [[E]] [[E]] [[F#m] ] [[E]] [[E]]
{Verse 1}
If I [[E]]cannot be so happy with [[A]]out you my [[E]]dear,
If I cannot hold you close evr'y [[F#7]]second that you're [[B]]here,
You must [[A]]know I can't go on.
[[E]] Ev'ry [[A]]time I sing my [[E]]song.
If I cannot have your love [[F#7]] I'll [[B]]sing the [[E]]blues.
{Verse 2}
Every time I'm feeling low and far away.
All the time I think of you, every second of the day.
And you know you hurt my pride,
Bud I'd rather be by your side.
If I cannot have your love I'll sing the blues.
{Chorus 1}
Sing the [[B]]blues all my life. I got [[A]]trouble I got [[E]]strife.
How can a man expect to be so [[B]]free.
[[Badd6]] To [[A]]travel this so lonely road [[E]]and to [[A]]carry this heavy [[E]]load,
Is becoming far [[E/C#]] too much, [[F#m]]too much [[B]]for [[E]]me.
{Verse 3}
If I cannot be so happy then I'm gonna be on my way.
The many nights I needed your love it never worked out that way.
For I must have my babe,
For I'm feeling extremely sad.
If I cannot have your love I'm gonna play the blues.
{Solo}
{Chorus 2}
Sing the [[B]]blues all my life. I got [[A]]trouble I got [[E]]strife.
How can a man expect to be so [[B]]free.
[[Badd6]] To [[A]]travel this so lonely road [[E]]and to [[A]]carry this heavy [[E]]load,
Is becoming far [[E/C#]] too much, [[F#m]]too much [[B]]for [[E]]me.
Yes I'd [[E]]rather have [[E/C#]]your love [[F#m]]than [[B]]singing then [[E]]blues.
Yes I'd [[E]]rather have [[E/C#]]your [[A/F#]]love baby than sing the [[E]]blues.
