Am            F           D9    E7/9- 
Blue was just the color of the sea  
Am  F        Bm5-/7    E7 
Til   my lover left me 
Am          F          D9    E7/9- 
Blue was just a bluebird in a tree  
Gm7 Dm7     Am      E7 
Til he said "Forget me." 
C        G        F     G 
Blue always made me think of summer, 
C            Am7          Bm5-/7  E7 
Cloudless summer skies so fresh and warm 
  Am         F            Am7     F 
But now the blue I see is more like winter 
Dm     A7        F   Bm5-/7    E 
Winter skies with clouds about to storm 
Am         F       D9    E7/9- 
Blue was just the color of his eyes 
Am  F        Bm5-/7      E7 
Til he said "Goodbye, love." 
Am         F            D9      E7/9- 
Blue was just a ribbon for first prize 
Gm7 Dm7             Am     E7 
Til he said, "Don't cry, love." 
  F       Dm7  Bm5-/7        G7 
And blues were only torch songs 
F         Dm7        Bbm9 
Fashioned for impulsive ingénues 
 Am     F       D9    E7/9- 
But now I know, too well I know 
  F   Dm7      Bm5-/7   E7      Am 
Too well I know the meaning of the blues.
