Here's the correct chords to Eric Clapton's Blue Eyes Blue (from the movie
Runaway Bride)
I didn't find any correct chords or tabs, so I decided to write them down
myself.
Since my primary instrument is the piano, the chords may be a little hard to
play
on the guitar, but I hope you'll make it!
BLUE EYES BLUE
INTRO: A(add9) E6 F#m7(add11) Dmaj9
A(add9) E6 F#m7(add11) Dmaj9
VERSE: B(add9) F# G#m7 Emaj7
I thought that you'd be loving me.
B(add9) F# G#m7 Emaj7
I thought you were the one who'd stay forever.
B(add9) F# G#m7 Emaj7
But now forever's come and gone
B(add9) F# G#m7 Emaj7
And I'm still here alone.
Emaj9
'Cause you were only playing,
D#m7 G#m7
you were only playing with my heart.
B/F# Emaj9
I was never waiting,
D#m7 B/F# E6/G#
I was never waiting for the tears to start.
CHORUS: A(add9) E6 F#m7(add11) Dmaj9

Bm7 A/C# D D/E
It was you, it was you who made my blue eyes blue
A(add9) E6 F#m7 Dmaj9
Oh-oh, I never should have trusted you.
VERSE: I thought that I'd be all you need.
In your eyes I thought I saw my heaven.
But now my heaven's gone away,
and I'm out in the cold
'Cause you had me believing,
you had me believing in a lie.
Guess I couldn't see it,
guess I couldn't see it till I saw goodbye.
CHORUS:
HALF VERSE: Guitar solo
THEN: 'Cause you were only playing,
you were only playing with my heart.
I was never waiting,
I was never waiting for the tears to start.

It was you who put the clouds around me
A(add9) E6
It was you.
B(add9) F#6 G#m7(add11) Emaj9
It was you who put the clouds around me
B(add9) F#6 G#m7(add11) Emaj9
It was you who made the tears fall down.
G#m7 F#6 Emaj9 B/D#
Only you who broke my heart in pieces.
C#m7 B/D# E E/F#
It was you, it was you who made my blue eyes blue.

pre chorus:
You had me believing
You had me believing in a life
I could never see it
I could never see it till I saw good bye
It was you....etc
This song has a pretty tricky fingerpicked rhythm, especially on the pre chorus where you have to
slide
down the fretboard playing the chords in their barred C shapes in a fluid motion.
For all the eric anoraks like myself, the rhythm is like that that he uses on Brokenhearted when
played live (eg Music for Monserrat)
For the authentic tone, go and buy a 000-28EC Martin Acoustic,
according to Eric they are the best acoustic guitars ever made. I have one and I agree.
