C
Up above me are the skies
F C
Like the twinkle in your eyes
F C G7
These things are the color of the blues
C
In the mail your letter came
F C
The ink and paper looked the same
F G7 C
Blue must be the color of the blues
F
Blue birds singing in the trees
C
Seems to sympathize with me
G7
For he's not singing like he used to do
C
The pretty waters in the sea
F C
Feel as cold as you left me
F G7 C
Yes blue must be the color of the blues
There's a rainbow over head
F C
With more blue than gold and red
F C G7
Blue must be the color angels choose
C
A blue dress you proudly wore
F C
When you left to return no more
F G7 C
Blue must be the color of the blues
F
Blue days come and blue days go
C
How I feel nobody knows
G7
Life is mighty empty without you
C
There's a blue note in each song
F C
That I sing since you are gone
F G7 C
Yes blue must be the color of the blues
