The Blue Distance

Written by Mary Chapin Carpenter

	  		
Intro 
Bb F C F 
Bb F Am Bb 

verse 1 
           C        F                Bb     F 
Across the railroad tracks, down the gravel road 
           C       Dm   C        Bb 
headlights throw a beam   on the way back home. 
    C         F            Bb    F 
Lie down, lie down, listen wide awake 
       C           F            Bb 
To the trains that roll, to the sound time makes. 

verse 2 
      C               F          Bb     F 
It passes through the air like a summer storm 
         C     Dm     C        Bb 
Catching on my sleeve   like a rose's thorn. 
     C       F             Bb       F 
Sometimes it whispers, sometimes it roars 
C              F           Bb 
Flies like the wind, waits by the door.

Mid 8 Bb F C F Bb F Am Bb verse 3 C F Bb F It fills up my chest, it fills up my eyes C Dm C Bb like an old glass jar filled with fireflies. C F Bb F Sometimes I’m still, sometimes I sigh C F Bb Sometimes I’m lost and I don’t know why
tabchorus
F Bb F Dm F But I know you know and that’s all I need Bb F Am When the light of day looks like night to me. Bb F Dm F When you’re far away and I’m all alone Bb F C F I can’t explain, I know you know.

Instrumental Bb F C F Bb F Am F Bb F C Dm Bb F Am Bb verse 4 C F Bb F In the morning light, before the heat sets in C Dm C Bb Call the dogs to run where the shade has been. C F Bb F Across the railroad tracks lay your silver down C F Bb Find it smooth and flat, stars for your crown. Verse 5 C F Bb F In the blue distance where our lives unfurl C Dm C Bb The edges of the sky, the beauty of the world.
tabchorus
F Bb F Dm F But I know you know and that’s all I need Bb F Am When the light of day looks like night to me. Bb F Dm F When you’re far away and I’m all alone Bb F C F I can’t explain, I know you know.
