C        Am         F            G 
See that big blue note, over there on the counter 
C                    Am                      F            G 
You don't wanna read that thing, man, it's a real get-you-downer 
C                  Am                F         G 
But don't you dare say nothin' else, bad about her 
C          Am  F  G 
She's gone 
 
No, no, no, no, don't, don't throw it away, 'Cause tonight, I might need it 
It gets real lonely around here at night some times, and I have to reread it 
Besides, you can show it to the boys down town They won't believe that  
She's gone 
 
 
Chorus: 
                   F          Em 
There used to be a time I was all she ever wanted 
F                G           C 
All the man that she'll ever need 
               F              Em  
I come home to find just like that she's up and vanished 
        F                              G 
And the only thing she left behind for me 
 
 
Is this big blue note, folded up in my pocket 
Yeah, don't laugh, it's been two months, I still got it 
Sometimes I have to read the sucker twice just to make sure I ain't forgot that  
She's gone 
 
 
You know, my psychiatrist said, "Tell me, what do you see 
"When you look at these inkspots, "Of, uh, reds, yellows and greens?" 
You know, I looked at 'em all, but they all looked to me like  
Big blue notes 
 
 
Solo 
 
Chorus 
 
Is stand high on this cliff, overlooking the sea 
With my big blue notepaper airplane, that I just set free 
Now I'm gonna wait here a few more minutes, and if it don't come back to me, you guessed it 
She's gone
