	        D    A    D    B7   C   A   D     A7 
You ain't been blue, no, no, no; 
 
 D    A    D    B7   Fm7                 A    A9     A 
You ain't been blue 'til you've had that mood in-di-go. 
 
 D    Dm7    D7                  G6    G5         Gm 
That feelin'      goes stealin' down, down to my shoes 
 
 A    D  A   D   B7    C   A     D      A7 
While I sit and sigh, 'So long, blues.' 
 
 
 
D        D6   D    E      E6 E 
I always get that mood in-di-go 
 
  A6       A    A7         D     Fdim   A 
Since my baby said, 'Good-bye.' 
 
D          D6  D       E         E6   E 
And in the eve-nin', when lights are low, 
 
Fm7                      A 
I'm so lonesome I could cry 
 
D9                          D         Dm7    G 
'Cause there's nobody who cares about me; 
 
            Gm7      A       A7/5+   D 
I'm just as blue as blue can be. 
 
         D6        E      E6 E 
I always get that mood in-di-go -- 
 
A6              A    A7  D    Fdim   A 
I could lay me down and die. 
 
 
 
 D   A     D    B7   C   A   D    A7 
You ain't been blue, no, no, no; 
 
D    A     D   B7    Fm7                 A    A9    A 
You ain't been blue 'til you've had that mood in-di-go. 
 
D     Dm7    D7        G6       G5                Gm 
That feelin'      goes stealin' down, down to my shoes 
 
A     D  A   D  B7     C   A      D      A     D 
While I sit and sigh, 'So long, blues.'
