OUT OF THE BLUE

CHORDS



VERSE:
Bb         F
Out of the blue,
       Bb         F
On the wings of a dove,
  Bb        F
A messenger comes,
                    C
with the beating of drums,
                      Bb
it's not a message of love

    Bb           F    
Our children are born,
    Bb           F
and we keep them warm,
     Bb            F                    
they must have the right 
               C
to live in the light,
                    Bb
to be safe from the storm

    Bb         F
And out of the blue,
     Bb           F
with wings on his heels,
  Bb        F
a messenger comes, 
        C
bearing regrets 
                     Bb
for the time that he steals

    Bb          F
But steal it he will,
   Bb             F
my children's and mine,
Bb          F
against our desires, 
                C
against all our needs,
                       Bb
our blood spilled like wine

CHORUS:
Dm

Dm       C       Bb
Over and over we call,
       Dm                  
No one hears... and further 
    C           Bb         F
and further and further we fall...
          Dm           C              Bb
Though we brave it, we soon will have wait
      Dm                          C
It is clear that it's no dream at all,
    Bb           F
our lives are at stake

Bb C

VERSE:
  Bb     F
I cannot believe... 
    Bb   F
nor even pretend...
         Bb        F 
that the thunder I hear, 
          C
will just disappear,
                       Bb
and the nightmare will end

   Bb            F
So hold back the fire, 
        Bb           F
because this much is true,
     Bb             F
when all's said and done, 
                 C
then ending will come,
                Bb
from out of the blue

F Bb F C
