"Ugly Side" by Blue October
from the album "History for Sale"
Notes: You can play this one with either power chords or open chords; on an acoustic,
power chords for the verses and open chords for the chorus sound pretty good.
Like most Blue October songs, this one would sound better if you had violin
accompaniment. I whistle the violin parts, and it sounds OK. Comments are

[Bm]I must have sneezed
On knees I freeze
I mean I j[A]ust choked up
But [G]somehow I slept
I [E]dream, I mean
I dreamt of [Bm]nothing
I'm [Bm]able to breathe
A sweet relief
Now that you're [A]here for me
A [G]northern degree
Dove [E]into me
Now I'm re[Bm]covering
(Chorus)
I [G]only want you to see
My favorite [D]part of me
And not my [A]ugly side
And not my[G] ugly sid[E]e[Bm]
So hook up a C.B. wave away
For conversation flow
I'm shown to your cage to wage this rage
Don't let me go
A kick and a scream is all that seems
To mean a lot thus far (lot thus far...)
I won't let you on my stage, my page
You can't know
Yet you have to know!
(Repeat Chorus twice, then outro:)
Bm (sustained)
So cal[G]m...[A] [D][A][Bm]
And it's so ca[D]lm.[A]..[Bm]
And now it's dark[G][A][Bm]
I look for you to light my [G]heart[A]
[Bm]I'm between the moon and where you [G]are
I k[A]now I can't be.[Bm].. far
