Scorpio rising

Intro: (Drums)

Cm-Ab-Gm-; (2x)

Cm Ab Gm Cm Ab Gm

I’m old enough to know that my stars just won’t let go

Cm Ab Gm Cm Ab Gm

At this day and age I can see that the world was meant for me

Cm Ab Gm Cm Ab Gm

Some people laugh at what you’re doing, they hold you in the sand

Cm Ab Gm Cm-Ab-Gm

I’m having hard time adjusting to these changes

Ref:

Ab G

I can see that your lips are moving

Cm G

But I can’t hear what you’re saying

Ab G Ab G

Is it yes or is it no? Is it stop, or is it go?

Ab G Ab G

Is it suck or is it throw? Or is it me or am I just too slow?

Interlude: (do ICP, 4x)

(Do stanza chords)

I’m young enough to think that the world looks good in pink

But as far as I can see that ain’t enough for me

Some people hear what you’re saying, they pull you by the strings

I’m having troubles taking things day by day

Ref 2:

Ab Bb

When I see you I see red and green

Gm Cm

You’re like the biggest tree I’ve ever seen

Ab Bb

But it cuts you down, oh down to size

Ab Bb

The apple of my eyes is rotting in the ground

Interlude: (Do ICP 8x)

Ref 3:

Ab Gm

I see the future burning in their eyes

Cm Ab

but I don’t care what it’s saying

Ab G Ab G

Is it high or is it low, is it high or is it low

Ab G Cm Gm

Is it sink or is it grow, is it twister, a-he, he-he-hey

Interlude: (Do ICP 4x)

Bridge:

Cm (Pause) G (Pause)

I wrote this song while I’m eating beans

Cm (Pause) G (Pause)

Now don’t you try to ask me what that means?

Cm (Pause) G (Pause)

It’s just like asking me to tell you my dreams

Cm (Pause) G

I would have told you long ago

Ab Bb

But now it seems you’re far away

Ab Bb Gm

Here comes a loony bin, come to take me away

Ab G

You put a scar in my twisted face

Ab G

In the yearbook I look out of place

Ab G

I see my letter burning in your hand

Ab Bb G Cm-Ab-G

It took me 25 years just to understand

Coda:

(Do ICP)

Blue is the color of my skin

Blue is the color of my skin

(Drums)

Blue is the color of my…

Woh!
