Bold As Love

To make it easier, each line is a measure, for both the verses, chorus, and the cool solo at the end.  

A (E)

Anger! he smiles, towering in

(F#m) (D)

shiny metallic purple armor. Queen

(A) (E)

Jealousy, envy waits behind him, her

(F#m) (D) (C#)  

fiery green gown sneers at the grassy ground.

(D) (A)

Blue are the life giving waters taking for

(Bm) (G)

granted, they quietly understand.

(D) (A)  

Once happy turqoise armies lay opposite, ready,

(Bm) G G#

but wonder why the fight is on.

Chorus:

A E  

 But there all, bold

F#m G

as love

(A) E

Yeah, they're all bold as

F#m G

love. Yeah!

(G) (G#)

 2. My

Red is so confident, he flashes trophies

of war and ribbons of euphoria

Orange is young, full of daring, but

very unsteady for the first go round.

My Yellow in this case is not so mello. In

And all of these emotions of mine keeps holding me from, uh, giving my life to a rainbow like you. But I'm, uh,

yeah, I'm bold as love

yeah, yeah

Well, I'm bold, bold

as love, hear me talkin' girl.

I'm bold as

love, uh! Just ask

the Axis. He knows ev

'ry thing... Yeah! Yeah!

Solo over chorus changes, until the rhythm changes to triplet feel (before drum solo), where the changes go

F#m D

A D (repeat this change until music drops out)

Then...
