Blue Eyes - Lyrics - Uncle Tupelo
Uncle Tupelo was an alternative country music group from Belleville, Illinois, active between 1987 and 1994. Jay Farrar, Jeff Tweedy, and Mike Heidorn formed the band after the lead singer of their previous band, The Primitives, left to attend college. The trio recorded three albums for Rockville Records, before signing with Sire Records and expanding to a five-piece. Shortly after the release of the band's major label debut album Anodyne, Farrar announced his decision to leave the band owing to a soured relationship with his co-songwriter Tweedy. Uncle Tupelo split on May 1, 1994, after completing a farewell tour. Following the breakup, Farrar formed Son Volt with Heidorn, while the remaining members continued as Wilco.

G
VERSE 1:
G D
Sometimes I get upset when people treat me bad
C G
I don't have time to think and so I get real mad
C
And I pull my hair and find somewhere where I can be alone
D G
And when I do I think of you and head myself back home
CHORUS:
C D G
For I got chores to keep me busy, clock to keep my time
C G D
A pretty girl to love me, with the same last name as mine
C G
When the flowers wilt, a big old quilt to keep us warm
D G
And I got the sun to see your blue eyes, and tonight you're in my arms
VERSE 2:
Sometimes I get unwound when fancy cars drive past
Money don't get me down, I can't make it last
And I bite my nails and if that fails I go get myself ***
And when I do I think of you and head myself back home
CHORUS
HARMONICA SOLO:
| G | G | D | D |
| D | C | C | G |
REPEAT VERSE 2
CHORUS
END:
G C D G
