BLUE EYES4/4 swing shuffle feel


Key D:  John Walding 2001




[D]I saw blue [Bm]eyes, down [D]town tod-[Bm]ay


[D]Attended [Bm]by, her[D]chaffeur and [Bm]maid


[D]Dispensing [Bm]smiles, and [D]waves, to[Bm]passers [A7]by


She looks so cute, she looks so neat


From the top of her head, to the soles of her feet


I smiled at her, she smiled right back to [D]me[D7]


[G]Hey there blue eyes, where you going


[D]That’s a [Bm]lot of [D]leg, you’re [Bm]showing


I [G]say, blue eyes, those eyes are roving


Other [E7]eyes, look back at [A7]you


[D]I saw blue [Bm]eyes, down [D]town to-[Bm]day


[D]She does’nt [Bm]have a [D]lot to [Bm]say


[D]Those blue eyes, [Bm]say it [D]all, for [Bm]you and [A7]me


What a cutie, what a pet


They’ll lay down, at her feet, I’ll bet


And mum will chose, the best ones, for her [D]rose[D7]


[G]Hey there blue eyes, love that laughter


[D]I’ll bet, you’re [Bm]mother’s, [D]favourite[Bm] daughter


I [G]say there, blue eyes, you know you orter



[E7]Show a little more decorum, and [A7]poise


[D]I saw blue [Bm]eyes, down [D]town to-[Bm]day


[D]I’d say she’d [Bm]be, the [D]latest [Bm]craze


[D]Passers [Bm]by, they [D]stop and [Bm]say, I’s-[D]ntshe the [Bm]cutest [A7]thing


Here  am, with my guitar, miles away from my local bar


Strumming and singing, to near and far


There’s just, blue eyes, and [D]me[D7]


[G]Hey there blue eyes, nice to see ya


[D]But I [Bm]guess, it’s [D]time to [Bm]leave now


[G]Love you kid, hey, you take care now


Say, [E7]Hi, to your folks, from [A7]me


[D]I saw blue [Bm]eyes, down [D]town to-[Bm]day


[D]Attended [Bm]by her [D]chaffeur and [Bm]maid


[D]Dispensing [Bm]smiles and [D]waves, to [Bm]passers [A7]by


She looks so cute, she looks so neat


From the top of her head, to the soles of her feet


I smiled at her, she smiled right back to [D]me[Bm /// D]




I [A7]ed at her, she smiled right back to [D]me[G/Gdim/D/Bm/G/A/D/D9/fine]



Re: Blue Eyes

Hi John - I just fixed a coding error in your posting.  Sorry I didn't see it until now.  The problem was that you used [square brackets] instead of {curly brackets} for the title, subtitle, and comment lines.  The chordpro formatting routine needs those lines or else it won't recognize the file.

I am at a loss as to who the lady might be . . . . very much like the song and will give it a twang and howl a little later.  James

Re: Blue Eyes

Alrighty then . . . have been pondering who it is in this song and I think I finally figured it out.  It was so obvious that I couldn't see it until I happened to notice the date - then it was clear.

Are there lines of chords missing, or something?  Seems like there might be . . .

Re: Blue Eyes

At the risk of being clever, I believe this is about a young girl in a pushchair/pram!  I read your post so call me a cheat!

cool

Re: Blue Eyes

Hi James,
Chords missing??
No Sirreee...
When the chord progression goes to (A7), try adding (A7sus), or an (A6) on the off beat strum.
This song has a bouncy rhythmic beat to it: feel free to push the boundaries a tad...
Thankyou all for your interest.
Regards & cheers
