Introducción:
Am F D9 E7
Blue was just the color of the sea
Am F Bm7(b5) E7
Til my lover left me
Am F D9 E7
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 Bm7(b5) 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 Bm7(b5) E
Winter skies with clouds about to storm
Am F D9 E7
Blue was just the color of his eyes
Am F Bm7(b5) E7
Til he said "Goodbye, love."
Am F D9 E7
Blue was just a ribbon for first prize
Gm7 Dm7 Am E7
Til he said, "Don't cry, love."
F Dm7 Bm7(b5) G7
And blues were only torch songs
F Dm7 Bbm9
Fashioned for impulsive ingénues
Am F D9 E7
But now I know, too well I know
F Dm7 Bm7(b5) E7 Am
Too well I know the meaning of the blues.
