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

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

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

Blue days come and blue days go

How I feel nobody knows

Life is oh so empty without you

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
