G
Up above me are the skies

                 C       G
Like the twinkle in your eyes

C                    G            D7
These things are the color of the blues

       G
In the mail your letter came

            C                G
The ink and paper looked the same

C                D7           G
Blue must be the color of the blues

 
     C
Blue bird sitting in the tree

         G
Seems to sympathize with me

                                 D7
He's not singing like he used to do

G
Pretty waters in the sea

             C           G
Feel as cold as you left me

C                D7           G
Blue must be the color of the blues

 
     C
Blue days come and blue days go

      G
How I feel nobody knows

                            D7
Life is oh so empty without you

G
There's a blue note in each song

            C             G
That I sing since you are gone

C                D7           G
Blue must be the color of the blues
