BLUE TELESCOPE - John Hiatt ---------------------------
+ + + + + + + + (Acoustic enters |Csus4 C Csus2 C|Csus4 C Csus2 | x4 after 2nd time)
I've got a blue telescope, I'm looking at the world tonight Through a blue telescope; I wish I may, I wish I might F Csus4 etc Not see what I see - sheet metal on sheets of ice G Csus4 etc Looking through this blue telescope down a moonstruck road tonight
Blue breath on my windshield, I came to a frozen place She shivered when I said goodbye - I wish I didn't have to face Her in that rear-view mirror, though she lives in the heart of me Looking through this blue telescope I guess she'll always be a star to me
G/B Am Em F C The heavens vast and wide G/B Am Em F G Wait to escort the bride Am Em F C She lifts her wedding veil G/B Am Em F G Her breath a lonesome vapour trail
(Same chords as verse)
I got this blue telescope - I'm looking for her tonight Through a blue telescope; tell me, why must the blue angels fight? Taking one last shot at heaven while they slip stream through paradise Looking through this blue telescope down a moonstruck road tonight I'm looking through this blue telescope down a moonstruck road tonight

NB This becomes much easier to sing (for my voice anyway), if you play it in Bb - the riff thingy works in G too, so you can play it in G with a capo on the third fret. No I won't transpose all the chords for you, you lazy swine...
