GUp above me are the skies
Like the twinkle Cin your Geyes
CThese things are the Gcolor of the D7blues
In the Gmail your letter came
The ink and Cpaper looked the Gsame
CBlue must be the D7color of the Gblues
Blue Cbird sitting in the tree
Seems to Gsympathize with me
He's not singing like he used to D7do
GPretty waters in the sea
Feel as cold Cas you left Gme
CBlue must be the D7color of the Gblues
Blue Cdays come and blue days go
How I Gfeel nobody knows
Life is oh so empty without D7you
GThere's a blue note in each song
That I sing Csince you are Ggone
CBlue must be the D7color of the Gblues
