This is my 1st entry for the http://bringthesong.org 2010 songwriter's contest.

Not like my usual stuff, I call this a "Spaghetti Song". Allow me to throw it on the wall and see if it sticks!

BLUE HERON

Em - C - G
Em - C - G

[Em] I [C] want you [G] here
where blue [Em] herons [C] fly a- [G] bove
[Em]But [C] you said [G] I
mistook [Em] one [C] night for [G] love

[Am] No matter [D]on that night
[Am] you promised [D] everything
[Am] So what if [D] I
[Am] believed your [F] every stinkin' [C] word?

CHORUS
I wanted you [G] where blue [C] herons [D] fly
A [G] place where [C] we could [D] breath
We're on the same [G] planet, [C] you and [D] I
but in two [Am] different worlds [C]

[Am] Herons [F] fly with their necks tucked [Am] in
Why did I [F] stick mine out for [C] you?

C - D - C - D

[Em] You [C] called me [G] dear
when you [Em] said your [C] last good- [G] bye
[Em] The [C] last was [G] first
I should've [Em] known it [C] from your [G] sighs

[Am] Your wings spread [D] open wide
[Am] you left me [F] standing here all a- [C] lone

CHORUS (2x)

[Am] The herons [F]fly low over my [Am] head
you could have [F] been so happy [C] here.
