Strange Street Affair Under Blue
(Beckett/Buckley)

TIM BUCKLEY
From Tim Buckley, 1966

Verse 1:
G                      Cm
Just for you with your open hands
F               G     D  G
Waiting for the touch of man
(G)                 Cm
Clutching with your blackened gloves
F                  G   D   G
You try to capture all the doves
     G    D G
That flee into
    Cm       G
The forest before you

Verse 2:
You wish to catch and cage me now
I wonder if you remember how
Hard it was to say the names
Of mirror dreams and cheated games
And on the wall
You framed your first lover

Verse 3:
Your form intrigues me with the glow
I'll remember you I know
Though I forgot to lock the chain
Around you with a prayer for rain
To bring the call
To drive you back into my bed

D
Ahhh....
She turns away
Telling me to follow for a while
Ahhh....
She waits

Cm                  D
You'd be touched if you would touch
Cm           D
But you only reach and taunt
G                  Cm
Will my taste stay grey and blue
F           G    D    G
If I try to turn from you

****
Listen to the song to find out how it goes.
The intro is just electric guitars over a G chord.
I could have tabbed it, but, oh well...
