lyrics

G
Blue heaven loving you is
G
black and blue heaven
G B7 Em
Night and day the lord gave me away
A7 D7
To spend my life lovin you
G G root F# Em C D
What’s the point of holdin’ on?
G G root F# Em C D
All of the people soon will be gone
G B7 Em A7 D7
I hurt you and you hurt me believin’ in anything
G G root F# Em C D
Blue heaven lovin’ you is
G G root F# Em C D
Black and blue heaven
G B7 Em
Oh night and day the lord gave me away
A7 D7
To spend my life lovin’ you
G GrootF# Em C D
Yesterday I lost someone I love
G GrootF# Em C D G
And this keeps happening to everyone I know
B7 Em A7 D7
Losing your heart, the wreckage of the road
G GrootF# Em C D
Blue heaven lovin you is
G GrootF# Em C D
black and blue heaven
G B7 Em
Night and day the lord gave me away
A7 D7
to spend my life lovin you
G GrootF# Em C D
Blue heaven lovin you is
G GrootF# Em C D
Black and blue heaven
G B7 Em C
Oh under the sea baby you and me

Am D7 Am D7
In a leaky submarine, if you know what I mean

G GrootF# Em C D
This song may ring true
G GrootF# Em C D
To others who feel comparably black and blue
G B7 Em
But this one’s for you.
A7 D7
I know who, I know who
G GrootF# Em C D
Blue heaven lovin you is
G GrootF# Em C D
Black and blue heaven
G B7 Em
Oh night and day the lord gave me away
A7 D7
To spend my life lovin you

G GrootF# Em C D G
This one’s for you

about

Bandits on the Run New York, New York

Bandits on the Run are your friendly neighborhood criminals, whose sole purpose is to reinvigorate the element of surprise by making musical mischief in unexpected places.

To your ears, these whimsical criminals will sound like a nostalgic medley of old and new: strummed, plucked, and bowed away on cello and guitar, and propped up on an old timey spine of three part harmony.
