Key: A
Introduction:
A7M D9 E7(13) A7M D7M(9) Dm6 A7M D9
My heart was all dressed up to go dancing
E7(13) F#7 Gº F#7 C#m7(b5) F#7
I had a brand new shine on my views
D9 Dm6 A7M C#m7(b5) F#7
The roses you sent for, the line that I went for
D9 Bm7(b5) E7(13) Cº A7M
Was just an invitation to the blues.
D9 A7M D7M Dm6 A7M D9
The very thought of love was entrancing,
E7(13) F#7 Gº F#7 C#m7(b5) F#7
I figured I had nothing to lose
D9 Dm6 A7M C#m7(b5) F#7
Your smile so elusive, your kiss so exclusive
D9 Bm7(b5) E7(13) Cº A7M Fº A7M
Was just an invitation to the blues.
C#7 E7 D9 E7(9)
I went to town, priced a wedding gown
D9 E7 C#7 Fº
Put my little red book on the shelf
D9 E7 Cº E7(13)
Hired a hall, got the band and all
B7 D9 Bm7(b5) E7(13) E7
And marched down the aisle by myself
D9 A7M D7M Dm6 A7M D9
I guess you can't depend on romancing
E7(13) F#7 Gº F#7 C#m7(b5) F#7
It puts your heart right down in your shoes
D9 Dm6 A7M C#m7(b5) F#7
Instead of a wedding for hich I was heading
D9 Bm7(b5) E7(13) Cº A7M Fº A7M
I got an invitation to the blues.
