Tom: A
D A E7 A
[Verse 1]
A
Up above me are the skies
D A
Like the twinkle in your eyes
D A E7
These things are the color of the blues
A
In the mail your letter came
D A
The ink and paper looked the same
D A E7 A
Blue must be the color of the blues
[Verse 2]
D
Blue birds sitting in the trees
A
Seems to sympathize with me
D A E7
For he's not singing like he used to do
A
The pretty waters in the sea
D A
Feel as cold as you left me
D A E7 A
Yes blue must be the color of the blues
[Break]

[Verse 3]
A
There's a rainbow over head
D A
With more blue than gold and red
D A E7
Blue must be the color angels choose
A
A blue dress you proudly wore
D A
When you left to return no more
D A E7 A
Yes blue must be the color of the blues
[Verse 4]
D
Blue days come and blue days go
A
How I feel nobody knows
D A E7
Life is mighty empty without you
A
There's a blue note in each song
D A
That I sing since you are gone
D A E7 A
Yes blue must be the color of the blues
D A E7 A D A E A
Yes blue must be the color of the blues
