Another song of compassion that won't really sound like it. For all my fellow happy(-day) (writing-)campers, all the boys and girls.
lyrics
REJECTION IN BLUE
A G# E
it was the best rejection she’d ever received
A G# E
it made her feel like she belonged
A G# E
to something bigger and brighter that she’d
G F# E
..known all along
A G# B - A F# G E (hold)
A G# E
it was the most encouraging note
she’d ever seen
A G# E
from people at that height
B A E
her sweat and blood had earned the blue ink
G F# E
stained with tears, now she cried
D A E
a cry she felt she’d earned and so enjoyed
D A E
cause maybe some day soon she’d be employed
D E A G D
Using her heart, and her mind
G F# A G# F# G E
Revealing the the soul the world had yet to find
A G# E
she went to camp ostensibly
A G# B
to finely tune her prose
B A
the boys and girls
E
all noticed her then
G F# E
the eyes the skin the nose
D A E
but these ones said they liked her stories too
D E
they could see inside her heart
F#m A
through her eyes… of blue
A
there was one
F#m E
she decided that she loved
A F#m
he seemed to really know
E
who she was
F#m B
and though, she knew
D
That was fiction too
A
she gave him
F#m E
the tender scene he sought
D – A -E
D E A G D (apreggite the D)
A G# E
…it was the best rejection she’d ever received
A G# B
…the best rejection she’d ever received
A G# E
...the best rejection shed ever received
G F# E
D A
She thinks about him sometimes when she
E
types
D A
Early in the morning late at
E
night
D E A G D
Pouring out her heart and her mind
