This another Song of the 1989 album "waking hours" by Del Amitri.
Beside "this side of morning" and "nothing ever happens" it is one
of my favourites. I figured it out by ear, so it might be different
from the record. I post it anyway...


Some hints for the notation:

1. === hold note

2. ==3== triplet

(strum from now on)

F# E
away Jimmy Blue

F# E
Before your small, small town turns around


B
and swallows you.

B E
A drunk mother was the clue

B E
Before the legendary things that you do

B E
Behind the carnival tent with mud on your face

B E
behind the old glue factory too

F# E
So move away Jimmy Blue

F# E
before your small, small town turns around

B
and swallows you.

B E
Wet feet visit the same old places

B E
Finding nothing new

B E
It's a binful of tissues from made-up faces

B E
in a townfull of nothing to do

F# E
A lovematch with the moon

F# E
in a layby, while insects hum
F# E
and you got put in the darkness of a womans womb

B E B E
Jimmy Blue


B E
So move away, yeh

B E
So move away, yeh

B E
So move away Jimmy Blue

F# E
before your small, small town turns around

and swallows
