Project Blue Book

For many years after World War II, the United States Air Force had a public task force investigating reports of extraterrestrial sightings and contacts. The task force report was called Project Blue Book. This is about a different blue book.

1.

D    C   A   Dm   G
I've got a   blue "U" book.

F                G
I wish you would take a look,

    F              Em
But only if you're int'rested

   Dm             C
In what it has to say 

           Dm
Concerning what you ask about.

        Em
You can look with honest doubt,

            F
But it will never help you out

         G
If you explain it all away.

2.

        Am
You can never realize

         G
What you won't internalize.

      F
No surprise will come from

             Em
Anything you read

        Dm
You can argue and debate

          Em
And never have to correlate

               F
Your life with what it has to state

         G
On human need.

3.

        Am
You can choose to worry, or

              G
Choose not to worry anymore,

       F
Listen to or just ignore

            Em
Your better side.

       Dm
No one else can make your choice.

     Em
Only you can use your voice

            F
For singing love or making noises

       G
Out of pride.

4.

         Am
Give the words a second glance.

          G
Don't be afraid to take a chance.

          F
You might find you like to dance

           Em
Instead of sit.

           Dm
But no one else can dance for you,

           Em
Or love in quite the way you do.

        F
And the blue "U" book

     G
  is for the benefit

       F     G  C
    of You
