BLUE TELESCOPE - John Hiatt
---------------------------
+ + + + + + + + (Acoustic enters
|Csus4 C Csus2 C|Csus4 C Csus2 | x4 after 2nd time)
I've got a blue telescope, I'm looking at the world tonight
Through a blue telescope; I wish I may, I wish I might
F Csus4 etc
Not see what I see - sheet metal on sheets of ice
G Csus4 etc
Looking through this blue telescope down a moonstruck road tonight
Blue breath on my windshield, I came to a frozen place
She shivered when I said goodbye - I wish I didn't have to face
Her in that rear-view mirror, though she lives in the heart of me
Looking through this blue telescope
I guess she'll always be a star to me
G/B Am Em F C
The heavens vast and wide
G/B Am Em F G
Wait to escort the bride
Am Em F C
She lifts her wedding veil
G/B Am Em F G
Her breath a lonesome vapour trail
(Same chords as verse)
I got this blue telescope - I'm looking for her tonight
Through a blue telescope; tell me, why must the blue angels fight?
Taking one last shot at heaven while they slip stream through paradise
Looking through this blue telescope down a moonstruck road tonight
I'm looking through this blue telescope down a moonstruck road tonight
I've got a blue telescope
Blue telescope

Chords used: C-x3201x, Csus4-x3301, Csus2-x3001x, G-320033,
G/B-x20033, Am-x02210, Em-022000
NB This becomes much easier to sing (for my voice anyway), if you play
it in Bb - the riff thingy works in G too, so you can play it in G
with a capo on the third fret. No I won't transpose all the chords for
you, you lazy swine...
Enjoy!
