Verse 1:
A               G
   The weather has changed today
A                G
   Conductor has changed the key
A                    G
   The trees are all changing clothes
A                   G
   Puttin' on their finery
D                       C
   There's smoke in the air
D                      C
   Risin' out of those chimneys

A    G
A    G

        E                    D
There's somethin' new there, too
                A           G
Smells like new blue to me

A    E

Verse 2:
I'm gonna get me some
Some rental property
Be good to the landlord
Paint the walls for free
Mix the paint myself
From my own recipe
Asked me what color it is
Just looks like some kinda new blue to me

Verse 3:
Leavin' home today
For about six weeks
Gonna go round and
Patch up all the leaks
I called my baby
She said she's in a pinch
I asked her what I could do
She says "bring home your new blue monkey wrench"

(Bridge)

Verse 4:
The weather has changed today
Conductor has changed the key
The trees are all changing clothes
Puttin' on their finery
There's smoke in the air
Risin' out of those chimneys
Something else out there, too
Smells like new blue to me

(Bridge)

End on A
