Blue Jay Way

Submitted by Andy Lakin

The bass line is pretty simple and matches the rhythm of the lyrics 

G|---0-------3-----6-----3-------4-------------------------------|
D|------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|------------------------------------------------------------------|
   There’s a fog upon L.A. 

G|---0-------3-----6-----3-------4-------------------------------|
D|------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|------------------------------------------------------------------|
   And my friends have lost their way

G|---0-------3-----6-----6--------0-----3-------6--------------|
D|------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|------------------------------------------------------------------|
   We'll be over soon they said

G|---3-------6-----9-----6-----3----9----7----------------------|
D|------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|-------------------------------------------------------|
   Now they've lost themselves instead.

     Please don’t be long

G|---0---2---3---2--0- -2---0-----------------------------------|
D|------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|------------------------------------------------------------------|

    Please don’t you be very long

G|--0--2--3--2---------------------------------------------------------|
D|------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|-------------------------------------------------------|
    Please don’t be long

G|---0--3--2--0--------------------------------------------------|
D|------------------3--2-------------------------------------------|
A|------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|------------------------------------------------------|
    For I may be asleep

G|---0-------3-----6-----3-------4-------------------------------|
D|------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|-------------------------------------------------------|
   Now it only goes to show

G|---0-------3-----6-----3-------4-------------------------------|
D|------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|-------------------------------------------------------|
   And I told them where to go

G|---0-------3-----6-----3-------6-------------------------------|
D|------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|-------------------------------------------------------|
   Ask a policeman on the street

G|---3-------6-----9-----6-----3----9----7----------------------|
D|------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|-------------------------------------------------------|
   There's so many there to meet.

G|---0-------3-----6-----3-------4-------------------------------|
D|------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|------------------------------------------------------------------|
   Now it's past my bed I know

G|---0-------3-----6-----3-------4-------------------------------|
D|------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|------------------------------------------------------------------|
   And I'd really like to go

G|---0-------3-----6-----3-------4-------------------------------|
D|------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|------------------------------------------------------------------|
   Soon will be the breath of day

 Don't be long - don't be long - don't be long
don’t be long - don't be long - don't be long

Pretty Simple and repetitive so you 
should get the hang of it, oh yea 
 those of you arguing with your friends 
about who the lead vocalist is its George
ot John by the way. Any Comments?
