Colour of the Sun by Jimmy Buffett
D
Touching down the highwire clown
G A D
Balances dreams that he’s chosen
Northern lights, all draped around
G A D
Melting a stream that was frozen
D
Bicycles with rusted wheels
G A D
A frame in need of adjusting
Red sky night that Fred Neil feels
G A D
Back when the Grove wasn’t bustling
Bm G D
The working tide will come around again
Bm G D A
A serenade lies waiting in the wind
Em D A
For all your worldly treasures
D G
There’s nothing to be won
Em D A
Nothing left to measure
G A D
Just you and me and the colour of the sun
D
Wide-eyed child wonders how
G A D
The sky connects to the ocean
Spinning fast then as now
G A D
She’s unaware of the motion
Bm G D
Wise men and then fools keep takin’ turns
Bm G D A
Every day more bridges seem to burn
Em D A
With all your vaults of treasure
D G
Would you trade them for some fun
Em D A
What’s the price of pleasure
G
Just you and me
C D
You can add subtract divide or multiply
C
Watch the particles collide
A
And trust the stars up in the sky
D
Sand dunes gone, snatched by a storm
G A D
Are the poles really shifting?
Gypsy rains wash over the plains
G A D
Wood and dreams are still drifting
Bm G D
The best of times can still somehow be found
Bm G D A
Even the worst of beaches will never let you down
Em D A
For all your worldly treasures
D G
For your battles lost and won
Em D A
Nothing left to measure
G A D
Just you and me, and the colour of the sun
D
Colour of the sun
