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
