INTRO:

LYRICS:
So you got the blues
The evening wore out your shoes
To a shuffling beat
It's a colourful crowd
Spray can information
Cover the lonely station
Checkpoint for the state of the nation
So you got the blues
The evening wore out your shoes
Dm Am F C
On the missionbeat beat
Dm Am F C
The radio drug
Dm Am F C
Wayward destinations
Dm Am F C
Secondhand sensations
CHORUS:
Dm
Take this heart
Dm Am F
Break this heart
C
Wrap it up
So you got the blues
The evening wore out your shoes
In the back of the cell
The plug and the cord
Shoulder dislocation
Bruised in isolation
CHORUS
BRIDGE:
Am Em G Am Am F Dm
Sleep, sleep
Am Em G Am Am F Dm Dm
Sleep, sleep
Dm Am F C Dm Am F C
In the eye of the storm
Writing on walls
Cross my heart confusion
We're all looking for a new solution
Dm Am F C
It's the heat of the land
Dm Am F C
Swallowing sweat
Dm Am F C
Say those dreams can shake me
Dm Am F C
Dawn come down and save me
CHORUS
BRIDGE
So you got the blues
The evening wore out your shoes
So you got the blues
The evening wore out your shoes
So, so you got the blues
End.

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official MIDNIGHT OIL tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
