C
Up above me are the skies

                 F       C
Like the twinkle in your eyes

F                    C            G7
These things are the color of the blues

       C
In the mail your letter came

                  F          C
The ink and paper looked the same

F                G7           C
Blue must be the color of the blues

 
           F
Blue birds singing in the trees

         C
Seems to sympathize with me

                                     G7
For he's not singing like he used to do

    C
The pretty waters in the sea

             F           C
Feel as cold as you left me

    F                G7           C
Yes blue must be the color of the blues

 
 
There's a rainbow over head

               F             C
With more blue than gold and red

F                C            G7
Blue must be the color angels choose

  C
A blue dress you proudly wore

                 F         C
When you left to return no more

F                G7           C
Blue must be the color of the blues

 
     F
Blue days come and blue days go

      C
How I feel nobody knows

                             G7
Life is mighty empty without you

        C
There's a blue note in each song

                  F       C
That I sing since you are gone

    F                G7           C
Yes blue must be the color of the blues
