Subject: The Blue Umbrella by John Prine
John Prine recorded this song on his Sweet Revenge album. The first time
I heard this song, was Rita MacNeill singing it on her show. She did a
great job. Anyway, this is my interpretation of this song.
The Blue Umbrella.
c f c
Well feelings are strange, especially when they come true,
g c
And I had a feeling that you'd be leaving soon,
f c
So I tried to rearrange all my emotions,
g c
But they seemed the same no matter what I'd do.
chorus:
c c c
The blue umbrella rests upon my shoulder,
g c
It hides the pain, while the rain makes up my mind,
f c
well my feet are wet, from thinking this thing over,
f g
And it's been so long since I've felt the warm sunshine,
f c
Just give me, one good reason,
f g c
And I promise I won't ask you anymore,
f c
Just give me, one extra season,
g c
So I can figure out the other four,
c f c
Day time makes me wonder why you left me,
g c
Night time makes me wonder what I said,
f c
The next time, are the words I'd like to plan on,
g c
The last time, was the only thing you said,
Chorus.
This is my first attempt at submitting any material and I hope you
enjoy this song as much as I do. Keith Agnew
