Fergus sings the blues

         D           E 
'Cause I look in the mirror 
       D               E 
And it throws back the question

And I whisper in words

Tell me can this white man sing the blues?

Lost in music

Sweet soul music 
Asus2      E 
This is my country

These are my reasons 


         D           E 
'Cause I look in the mirror 
       D               E 
And it throws back the question 
      D          E 
And I whisper in words 
     D      E 
That beg an answer 
       D           E 
Yes, I look in the mirror 
       D               E 
And it throws back the question 
      D          E 
And I whisper in words 
     D      E 
That beg an answer 
        D                           E 
Tell me can this white man sing the blues?

Pre-Chorus 
Asus2                       E         
From the north coast to the uplands 
Asus2                        E 
Stay on the left side of the white lines 
Asus2              E 
The campsites over Christmas 
Asus2            Dsus2 
I still dream of Memphis

And I whisper in words 
     D      E 
That beg an answer 
D                    E 
I got the blue, blue world 
      D                  E 
And I see the blue, blue sky 
D                          E 
I got I got the blue, blue ocean 
D          E 
In my blue eye
