How do you open documents. When you get onto the screen with the song it comes up with a screen saying what programme to open them but I have no idea. HELP. Thanks

The chord file is a pdf and you need Acrobat Reader to open it.

I don't usually copy info from other sites into here, so I won't post the chords from there, but e-mail me if you can't read the pdf file and I'll send them to you in plain text.

However, there is also another version (in E, slighly simpler chording I think) at the Guitar Guy's site: My Blue Heaven

(PS Steve Benbow has recently recorded some songs with a view to releasing them soon; I have a test copy of the songs that the final selection will be made from to give my comments on for the final version - 29 tracks to be whittled down to about 20. I'll post information properly when there's real news about it)

Try these chords. They're simplified and I'm posting them from memory (playing air guitar), but I think these are the ones I use and they seem to work fine.

Chorus:
            D                 Em                         G
When Whippoorwills call, and evening is nigh,
                C    D7   G          D
I hurry to my blue heaven.
                      Em                       G
A turn to the right, a little white light,
                         C    D7 G
Will lead you to my blue heaven.
                   C                   E7               Am
You'll see a smiling face, a fire place, a cozy room,
     D                     D7                       G
A little nest that's nestled where the roses bloom.
        D              Em                            G
Just Mollie and me, and Baby makes three.
          G7         C   D7     G
We're happy in my blue heaven.

years ago when I used to play in a bar after singing the original and most of the people were a little oiled I would always finish with this version and always got a nice round of applause.

Last saturday night,oh lordy was I tight
When I stumbled into my Blue Heaven
I reached for the light I found it alright
When I stumbled into my Blue Heaven

A rolling pin hit me on the chin a chair or two
When I awoke my jaw was broke both eyes were blue
Just Molly and me and my mother-in-law makes three
They beat the hell out of me in my Blue Heaven

They caught me half way between the kitchen and the dining room
They broke the rolling pin so they used the broom
Just Molly and me and my mother-in-law makes three
They beat the hell out of me in my Blue Heaven

Mick, As Benbows only student I know all about his project. Thank you any way but I see Steve regularly.
MERRY CHRISTMAS! Might see you in the Tap some time.

protege - sorry! Couldn't tell if you were an old protege or a current one. Sadly you're unlikely to see me in the Tap very often now as I've abandoned Harrow for the Notts/Yorks/Derby border.
