D A7 D B7 C7 A7 D A7
You ain't been blue, no, no, no
D A7 D B7 Fm7 A A9 A
You ain't been blue 'til you've had that mood indigo
D D7M D7 G6 G5 Gm
That feelin' goes stealin' down, down to my shoes
A7 D A7 D B7 C7 A7 D A7
While I sit and sigh, "So long, blues"
D D6 D E E6 E
I always get that mood indigo
A6 A A7 D Fdim A
Since my baby said, "Good-bye"
D D6 D E E6 E
And in the eve-nin', when lights are low
Fm7 A
I'm so lonesome I could cry
D9 D DM7 G
'Cause there's nobody who cares about me
Gm7 A7 A7/13- D
I'm just as blue as blue can be.
D6 E E6 E
I always get that mood indigo
A6 A A7 D Fdim A
I could lay me down and die
D A7 D B7 C7 A7 D A7
You ain't been blue, no, no, no
D A7 D B7 Fm7 A A9 A
You ain't been blue 'til you've had that mood indigo
D D7M D7 G6 G5 Gm
That feelin' goes stealin' down, down to my shoes
A7 D A7 D B7 C7 A7 D A7 D
While I sit and sigh, "So long, blues"
