Sweet Madam Blue

Flash back time.... OK - I said it before but I need to repeat

this disclaimer - for those of you who want exact notes/timing -

get the recording. I learned this puppy off an 8-trk tape ~15? years

ago. I play the intro every once in a while when I'm fooling

around, and this is how I remember it. I'm not even sure what the

name is.... the request was for _Madam Blue_, but then during

correspondance wrote (sweet) Madam Blue... Anyways this is my

recollection:

Sweet Madam Blue (STYX)

(as per d.badermans hazy memory....)

Seems like I jump to 3/4 time for the next line - this is probably

not correct, so if you have a source, listen to it....

Weird notations:

ss -> slow strum

^ -> down strum

V -> up strum

My brain hurts -someone else posted the following, and as I can't remember the

rest of the song, I will just include it. NOTE: I am sorry I have no idea who

submitted the following - it was forwarded to me without credits...
