If I could play some blues on a guitar rambling slow br Dancing on the fret board bending notes up high or low br I may not play like Jimi or with Slowhand's silky skills br But I would play a melody to cure you of your ills, br I’d take it from a minor into a major key br And play away your heartaches so you go dancing free. br br To dissolve the thoughts that haunt you and tie you in knots br I'll steal an elephant’s memory and sow with forget-me-nots br Lay it on your pillow in a wreath of love and bliss br So when you're fast asleep it's scent you will not miss br And you won't have to remember to call me on the phone br To say the postman's called but still you feel alone, br br I'm moving from a minor into a major key br Away from the blues, into sobriety.
