Most of the song is quite easy, as it s a simple 12 bar blues.
You can play just the chords, but if you listen to the record that s not all.
Sonny uses one of his techniques (no idea how it works exactly) to create an amazing sound.
Intro: Am Asus4 (repeat some times)
Air Force One had a heck of a view
Air Force One had a heck of a view
Looking down on the patchwork of the blue tarp blues.
I went walkin through the water sprung a leak in my shoes
I went walkin through the water sprung a leak in my shoes
that hole in my soul give me the blue tarp blues.
I got the blues
I got the blue blue tarp blues.
Slide solo over Verse Chords
There s a crack in the ceiling and the system too
There s a crack in the ceiling and the system too
But we got full coverage of the blue tarp blues.
I got the blues
I got the blue blue tarp blues.
Solo over Verse Chords
No it wasn t the weather that sank me and you
It was a bad mix of politics, greed and fools
That levee of lies couldn t hold back the truth
We re in deep but not out of the reach
Throw me something, mister.
Intro again
I m gonna fly my colors and watch for you
I m gonna fly my colors and watch for you
Like a flag of hope, above the blue tarp blues
I got the blues
I got the blue blue tarp blues.
