chords by Piguinho (from Brazil)
E7+/9 B7+
Bluegirls come in every size
B7/4 E
Some are wise and some otherwise,
G#m7
They got pretty blue eyes.
Dm6 E/D
For an hour a man may change
Dm6 C
For an hour her face looks strange -
D G
Looks strange, looks strange.
E7+/9 B7+
Marching to the promised land
B7/4 E A/E E
Where the honey flows and takes you by the hand,
G#m7
Pulls you down on your knees,
Dm6 E/D
While you're down a pool appears.
D#° Em
The face in the water looks up,
F#° C/G
And she shakes her head as if to say
D/C B7/4 B7
That it's the last time you'll look like today.
A7+ B/A
Sail away, away
E7+ E7
Ripples never come back.
F#m7 F#7/4 F#7
Gone to the other side.
A7+ B/A
Sail away, away.
E7+/9 B7+
The face that launched a thousand ships
B7/4 E
Is sinking fast, that happens you know,
G#m7
The water gets below.
Dm6 E/D
Seems not very long ago
Dm6 C D G
when lovelier she was than any that I know.

E7+/9 B7+
Angels never know it's time
B7/4 E A/E E
To close the book and gracefully decline,
G#m7
The song has found a tale.
Dm6 E/D
My, what a jealous pool is she.
D#° Em
The face in the water looks up
F#° C/G
She shakes her head as if to say
D/C B7/4 B7
That the bluegirls have all gone away.
A7+ B/A
Sail away, away
E7+ E7
Ripples never come back.
F#m7 F#7/4 F#7
They've gone to the other side.
A7+ B/A
Look into the pool,
E7+ E7
Ripples never come back,
F#m7
Dive to the bottom and go to the top
F#7/4 F#7
To see where they have gone
A7+ B/A
Oh, they've gone to the other side...
A7+ B/A
Sail away, away
E7+ E7
Ripples never come back.
F#m7 F#7/4 F#7
Gone to the other side.
A7+ B/A
Look into the pool,
E7+ E7
The ripples never come back, come back,
F#m7
Dive to the bottom and go to the top
F#7/4 F#7
To see where they have gone
A7+ B/A
They've gone to the other side
E7+ E7
Ripples never come back
F#m7 F#7/4 F#7
Sail away, away...
