This another Song of the 1989 album "waking hours" by Del Amitri. 
Beside "this side of morning" and "nothing ever happens" it is one 
of my favourites. I figured it out by ear, so it might be different
from the record. I post it anyway...


Some hints for the notation:

1. ===    hold note
2. ==3==  triplet

(strum from now on)

 F#        E
away Jimmy Blue 

            F#                       E 
Before your small, small town turns around 


             B
and swallows you.

        B              E
A drunk mother was the clue

           B                         E
Before the legendary things that you do

           B                  E
Behind the carnival tent with mud on your face

           B                E
behind the old glue factory too



        F#         E
So move away Jimmy Blue

            F#                       E
before your small, small town turns around

             B
and swallows you.



B                    E
  Wet feet visit the same old places

B                 E
  Finding nothing new

       B                      E  
It's a binful of tissues from made-up faces

    B                       E
in a townfull of nothing to do

  F#                 E
A lovematch with the moon

     F#                   E
in a layby, while insects hum
                       F#                   E
and you got put in the darkness of a womans womb

      B    E B E
Jimmy Blue


        B     E
So move away, yeh

        B     E
So move away, yeh

         B         E
So move away Jimmy Blue

           F#                        E
before your small, small town turns around
            
and swallows
