Symphony in Blue Kate Bush
By Kate Bush
From 1978's "Lionheart"
Intro: Gmaj7 Dm7 Gmaj7 Dm7
[Gmaj7]I spent a lot of my time looki[Em]ng at blue, [C]
[Cm]The colour of my room and my mood: [G]
Blue on the walls, blue o[Bb]ut of my mouth[Am];
[G]The sort of blue between clouds, when the sun comes ou[Bb]t, [Am]
[G]The sort of blue in those eyes you get hung up abo[Bb]ut. [Am] [Gmaj7] [Gm7] [Dm7]
[Gmaj7]When that feeling of meaningle[Fm]ssness sets in, [Em7]
Go blow[Cm7]ing my mind on God: [G]
The light in the dark, with the ne[Bb]on arms,[Am]
[G]The meek He seeks, the beast He[Bb] calms, [Am] [G]
The head of the good soul department.[Bb] [Am] [G]
[Gm] [G] [Gm] [G4] [G(add9)]
I s[Bb]ee myself suddenl[Fm]y
[D7]On the piano, as a mel[F7sus4]ody.
My terr[Bb]ible fear of dying [D7]
No lon[Eb]ger plays with me, [D]
[Gm]For now I know that I[Fm]'m needed [Ebmaj7]
[D7] For the symphony.
[Gm] [Dm7] [Gm] [Dm7]
(Same as verse)
I associate love with red,
The colour of my heart when she's dead;
Red in my mind when the jealousy flies,
Red in my eyes from emotional ties,
Manipulation, the danger signs.
(Same as verse)
The more I think about sex, the better it gets.
Here we have a purpose in life:
Good for the blood circulation,
Good for releasing the tension,
The root of our reincarnations.
(Same as refrain)
I see myself suddenly
On the piano, as a melody.
My terrible fear of dying
No longer plays with me,
for now I know that I'm needed
For the symphony.
[Gmaj7] I spend a lot of my time looking[Em] at blue--[C]
No wonder t[Cm7]hat I blew it! [G] [Bb] [Am]
[G] [Bb] [Am]Ooh...[Gmaj7] [Gm7] [Dm7]
