The Meaning Of The Blues(Chords)

	        
Am             F       D9    E7/9-  
Blue was just the color of the sea   
Am  F     Bm5-/7    E7  
Til my lover left me  
Am          F          D9    E7/9-  
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           Bm5-/7  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    Bm5-/7    E  
Winter skies with clouds about to storm  
Am            F        D9    E7/9-  
Blue was just the color of his eyes  
Am  F        Bm5-/7      E7  
Til he said 'Goodbye, love.'  
Am         F            D9      E7/9-  
Blue was just a ribbon for first prize  
Gm7 Dm7             Am     E7  
Til he said, 'Don't cry, love.'  
  F       Dm7  Bm5-/7      G7  
And blues were only torch songs  
F         Dm7        Bbm9  
Fashioned for impulsive ingénues  
    Am     F     D9   E7/9-  
But now I know, too well I know  
  F    Dm7      Bm5-/7   E7    Am  
Too well I know the meaning of the blues
