Verse

[Gm] [Cm]

Without a word of warning

[Gm] [Cm] [Gm]

The blues walked in this morning

[D7] [G7]

And circled round my lonely room - I didn't know why I had

[C7]

That sad and lonely feeling

[G7] [Am7] [Bm7] [Bbm7]

'Till my baby called and said it's through

[C7]

Yesterday I sang a love song

[D7] [G7] [C] [G7] [D7]

But today I sing the blues

Verse

[Gm] [Cm]

I know the explenation

[Gm] [Cm] [Gm]

But that's no consolation

[D7] [G7]

No matter how you love you can lose. And since I've lost

[C7]

I rather walk around and worry

[G7] [Am7] [Bm7] [Bbm7]

I guess I've walked the darkest avenue

[C7]

Yesterday I sang a love song

[D7] [G7] [C] [G7] [D7]

But today I sing the blues

Bridge

[G]

Now it strikes me kind of funny

[G]

How life can be this way

[G]

We were lovers last night honey

[G]

But not in love today

[G]

Now it strikes me kind of funny

[G]

How fate can be unfair

[G] [A7]

It seems that I'm the one

[G7]

To lose in every love affair

[C7]

Yes it must be written for me

[G7] [Am7] [Bm7] [Bbm7]

That I should be the one to always lose

[C7]

Yesterday I sang a love song

[D7] [G] [E7] [D#7] [A7]

But today I sing the blues
