14. Oh So Blue
(McGowan)

Oh so beautiful. Reminds me of early Don McLean when he could write thoughtfull and beautiful love songs. And what a picture Davy has chosen. Maybe he saw that first and made a song upon that. --Jore

This is quite a sad song - I'll need to try and find some happier chords in these tunings. An 'older woman' looks back upon her not entirely successful love life. Guitar is in open D tuning. --Davy

She's just trying to make amends
For all the tangles and loose ends
She left behind when she was courting

A simple sigh, a lover's kiss
The sense of something being amiss
And all the while her thoughts she's sorting

You made her oh so blue

She's just trying to figure out
What her past is all about
And why the future seems so out of reach now

Another line upon her face
Another grey hair out of place
What lesson does the future have to teach now?

You made her oh so blue
