Am       A9   Am  Am7+  Am       C  Am    C   Am    Dm  
A nocturne for the blues played on a broken heart string  
Dm           D9  Dm  Dm7+    F7      E7   Fdim Am  
It's wailing out the news my baby is gone from me  
 Am           A9 Am  Am7+    Am C Am    C   Am    Dm  
Dark shadows in the rain, a telephone that won't ring  
Dm     D9  Dm  Dm7+    F7          E7  Fdim Am  
Just memories remain of lovers that used to  be 
            A        Cdim G        A     Cdim  G  
I miss the laughs and the fun, my spot in the sun  
     A    Cdim G   Cdim    A      A7  
When I was the one one and only 
     D   Fdim   C            D   Fdim  C      
The music and lights, those wonderful nights  
     E      D  C  Bb   G#7 F#7   E7  
The morning is the time we'd kiss 
      A        Cdim G       A     Cdim  G  
The laughs and the fun, my days in the sun 
        A   Cdim  G       Cdim  A      A7  
They're over and done, and I'm lonely  
       D    Fdim  C       D        Fdim   C  
Don't ask me to hide the heartbreak inside  
     E       D C   Bb  G#7  F#7  E7   Fdim  Am  
The gleaming spark is gone, the light went dark 
Am           A9  Am   Am7+  Am           C   Am  Dm  
This nocturn for the blues took all and left me nothing  
Dm       D9  Dm  Dm7+      F7          E7 Fdim Am  
Nothing but the blues 'til baby comes back to  me
