[A7] [A7+5] [D6] [DM7] [F#m7]
Am I blue?
[B9] [Em7] [Em6] [A9]
Am I blue?
[A9+5] [F#m7] [B9] [E7] [Bm] [A7] [D6/9] [Bm7] [Em7] [A7]
Ain't these tears in my eyes tellin' you?
[A7+5] [D6] [DM7] [D6/9]
Am I blue?
[Em7] [A7sus4] [A7]
You'd be, too,
[A6] [D6] [C7] [B7] [E7] [B7] [B9] [D6] [Fdim]
If each plan with your man just fell through.
Bridge:
[F] [F#m7] [Fdim] [Fdim]
Was a time I was his only one;
[Fdim] [Fdim] [F#m] [Em7] [A7]
Now I'm the sad and lonely one.
[A7+5] [D] [DM7] [D6/9]
Was I gay?
[Em7] [A7sus4] [A7]
Til today —
[A6] [D6] [C7] [B7] [E7] [Bb9] [A9] [D6] [Bm7] [Fdim]
Now he's gone and we're through — am I blue?
Coda:
[A7] [D6] [Cdim] [Fdim] [Bb9] [A9] [D6] [Bm7] [Dsus4]
Am I blue?
[Bm6] [A7] [D9]
Am I blue?
