"Out Of The Blue"
(Ritchie Cordell - Bo Gentry)
[Notes: 1) OK, so this wasn't such a big hit but it's always been one of my
(and Tommy James' own) favorites. 2) You could substitute D13 for D7 to
cover the B in the high harmonies, but the guitar actually plays D7.]
Intro (really a verse without the first two lines):
F Fm
I was so downhearted baby
C D7
Till I met with you
Chorus:
G7sus4 G7
You took me (took me) out of the blue
G7sus4 G7
You shook me (shook me) out of the blue
Verse 1:
Dm7 G7 C F
Out of the blue into your arms, oh I came
Dm7 G7 C C+
Out of the blue, leavin' the pain behind
F Fm
Just as everything was falling
C D7
You came into view
[repeat chorus]
Verse 2:
Out of the blue into a love so real, yeah
Out of the blue, how very strange it feels
Everything was so ungroovy
Till you pulled me through
[repeat chorus]
Bridge:
C F
/ / / / / / / /

You passed my way, I passed your name

And since that day I'm not the same

I felt so hard for you
