Intro:
|C/G-Cmaj7/G|

Verse 1:
[C/G-Cmaj7/G]Janie, see how good the sky looks today,
I’ll bet they’re having fun up in [A-Asus2]Byron Bay – all our friends,
[C/G-Cmaj7/G]Oh, I’m feeling just a little bit blue.
I can tell it’s been getting to [A-Asus2]you too – trying to make sense,
And the [D-Dsus2]Sun – is shining up the end of the [C/G-Cmaj7/G]road,
We don’t even know where it [G-Gsus2]goes,
We’re outsiders without even [A-Asus2]knowing why.

Chorus 1:
[D-Dsus2]And I’ve got them Blue Bay Blues,
[C/G-Cmaj7/G]I’ve got them Blue Bay Blues,
[G-Gsus2]I’ve got them Blue Bay Blues.[A-Asus2] – Now why?

Bridge:
|C/G-Cmaj7/G|

Verse 2:
[C/G-Cmaj7/G]Nowa-days – we don’t see so many friends here in town,
But I try not to let it get me [A-Asus2]down – guess they all got out?
[C/G-Cmaj7/G]I remember when we thought that we could fight it –
I guess we got born in the [A-Asus2]wrong time – hid by clouds,
And the [D-Dsus2]Sun – is shining up the end of the [C/G-Cmaj7/G]road,
We don’t even know where it [G-Gsus2]goes,
We’re outsiders without even [A-Asus2]knowing why.

Chorus 2:
[D-Dsus2]And I’ve got them Blue Bay Blues,
[C/G-Cmaj7/G]I’ve got them Blue Bay Blues,
[G-Gsus2]I’ve got them Blue Bay Blues.[A-Asus2] – Now why?

Instrumental:
|D-Dsus2 C/G-Cmaj7/G|G-Gsus2 A-Asus2|

Verse 3: (Middle-Eight & Pre-Chorus)
[G-Gsus2]From day to day I get less [Em-Em7]sure,
Of where the [A-A7sus4]other guy is [D-Dsus2]going –
[G-Gsus2]He’s acting just as if he k[Em-Em7]nows it all,
But the [A-A7sus4]seeds of doubt are [D-Dsus2]sown.
And the Sun – is shining up the end of the [C/G-Cmaj7/G]road,
We don’t even know where it [G-Gsus2]goes,
We’re outsiders without even [A-Asus2]knowing why.

Chorus 3:
[D-Dsus2]And I’ve got them Blue Bay Blues,
[C/G-Cmaj7/G]I’ve got them Blue Bay Blues,
[G-Gsus2]I’ve got them Blue Bay Blues.[A-Asus2] – Now why?

Chorus 4:
[D-Dsus2]I’ve got them Blue Bay Blues,
[C/G-Cmaj7/G]Mama – I’ve got them Blue Bay Blues,
[G-Gsus2]I’ve got them Blue Bay Blues.[A-Asus2] – Now why?

Chorus 5:
[D-Dsus2]I’ve got them Blue Bay Blues,
[C/G-Cmaj7/G]Mama – I’ve got them Blue Bay Blues,
[G-Gsus2]I’ve got them Blue Bay Blues.[A-Asus2] – Why, why, why?

Coda:
|D-Dsus2 C/G-Cmaj7/G|G-Gsus2 A-Asus2|

Notes.
1. From the promo: “Some of the songs on REWIRED are (more than) thirty years old.
They have stood the test of time. Many of them have never been off the radio for
the last 20 years in Australia. Reconstructing them acoustically allows us to
hear them afresh.”
2. This version differs from the original by being a semi-tone lower and the
finger-picked complexity has been simplified. The flat picked arpeggiated chords
are accompanied by a slide-guitar in this REWIRED version.
