"Symphony in Blue"
By Kate Bush
From 1978's "Lionheart"

Intro: Gmaj7 Dm7 Gmaj7 Dm7

Gmaj7 Em C
I spent a lot of my time looking at blue,

Cm G

The colour of my room and my mood:

Bb Am
Blue on the walls, blue out of my mouth;

G Bb Am
The sort of blue between clouds, when the sun comes out,

G Bb Am Gmaj7 Gm7 Dm7
The sort of blue in those eyes you get hung up about.

Gmaj7 Fm Em7
When that feeling of meaninglessness sets in,

Cm7 G
Go blowing my mind on God:

Bb Am
The light in the dark, with the neon arms,

G Bb Am G
The meek He seeks, the beast He calms,

Bb Am G
The head of the good soul department.


Gm G Gm G4 G(add9)


Bb Fm
I see myself suddenly

D7 F7sus4
On the piano, as a melody.

Bb D7
My terrible fear of dying

Eb D
No longer plays with me,

Gm Fm Ebmaj7
For now I know that I'm needed

D7
For the symphony.


Gm Dm7 Gm Dm7

(Same as verse)
I associate love with red,
The colour of my heart when she's dead;
Red in my mind when the jealousy flies,
Red in my eyes from emotional ties,
Manipulation, the danger signs.

(Same as verse)
The more I think about sex, the better it gets.
Here we have a purpose in life:
Good for the blood circulation,
Good for releasing the tension,
The root of our reincarnations.

(Same as refrain)
I see myself suddenly
On the piano, as a melody.
My terrible fear of dying
No longer plays with me,
for now I know that I'm needed
For the symphony.

Gmaj7 Em C
I spend a lot of my time looking at blue--

Cm7 G Bb Am
No wonder that I blew it!

G Bb Am Gmaj7 Gm7 Dm7
Ooh...
