Tom: G
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
