Kevin Deal - The Day the Blues Cried
D G
It was a hot day in Dallas
D
And the suns beatin down
D Bm
The end of august
A
Those dog days come round
I was driving into work
and I stoped at a light
I was listeing to the country station
when I heard about the ill fated flight
G D
It was the day that the blues cried
G A
A Texas flood of tears from on high
G D
Yeah the day that the blues cried
A D
A Texas pride and joy fell from the sky
Well that light turned green
And I drove on my way
In stunned disbelief
I said no not Stevie Ray
Though I did not know him
It did not stop the tear in my eye
In the sense of loss I felt
It's hard for me to describe
Chorus
You had double trouble behind you
And the world at your feet
Layin down them blues with conviction
So soulfull and sweet
With a beatup old strat
And a coal black stileto
You can still hear the echo
Chorus
