Flame Turns Blue

IMPORTANT!
Retune to an E-chord (like for shine) E-B-E-G#-B-E.
(Tuner users can fret the G or 3rd string at the first fret and tune to A to produce an unfretted G#, otherwise just tune to above)
Capo on 2nd fret, tab is relative to capo

s - slide
p - just keep on strumming

Main sequence:
the slidey part is barely audible, but play it anyway
pppppp pp ppp

I went looking for someone I left behind
Leaving no one just a stranger did I find

I never noticed, hadn't seen it as it grew, the void between us where the flame turned blue

then back to the main sequence thing and so on (play sequence 2 twice for the "if i lost you" bit) until "in the morning i will sing.."

Different places though they all look much the same
Dreams of faces and the streets devoured by names
I'm in collision with every stone I ever threw
Blind ambition where the flame turns blue

Words dismantled in all the books and vows
Conversation though we utter not a sound
I heard a rumor I don't know if it's true
That you'd meet me when the flame turns blue…all right now

Play verse chords once through without vocals

So I ventured underneath the leaden (Lenten?) sky
See the freight train with its one fierce eye
And then I listened as it tears the night in two
With a whistle when the flame turns blue

The Bridge
pppppppp pppppppp pppppp

--4----------5-----------7--|----5--0---0-----

In the morning I will sing
In the morning I will sing

Through the lemon trees the diamonds of light
Breaking splinters from the pages where I write
But if I lost you, I don't know what I'd do
Burn forever where the flame turns blue
Yeah if I lost ya', I don't know what I'd do
Burn forever where the flame turns blue

In the morning I will sing
In the morning I will sing
In the morning I will sing ….Whoa oh oh
Sing
