Verse
[Cm] [Dm7-5] [G7]
Melancholy mood forever haunts me
[Cm]
Steals upon me in the night
[Dm7-5] [G7]
Forever taunts me
[C]
Oh, what a lonely soul am I
[Dm7] [G7]
Stranded high and dry
[Cm] | [Ab7] [G7] |
By a melancholy mood
Verse
[Cm] [Dm7-5] [G7]
Gone is every joy and inspiration
[Cm]
Tears are all I have to show
[Dm7-5] [G7]
No consolation
[C]
All I can see is grief and gloom
[Dm7] [G7]
Till the crack of doom
[Cm] | [Ab7] [G7] [Cm] |
Oh, melancholy mood
[Middle 8]
[Fm]
Deep in the night
[Fm] [Bb7]
I search for a trace
[Ebmaj7] [Ebmaj7]
Of a lingering kiss, a warm embrace
[Ab]
But love is a whimsy
[Ab]
And as flimsy as lace
[Am7-5] [Ab7] [G7]
And my arms embrace an empty space
Verse
[Cm] [Dm7-5] [G7]
Melancholy mood, why must you blind me
[C]
Pity me and break the chains
[Dm7-5] [G7]
The chains that bind me
[C]
Won't you release me, set me free
[Dm7]
Bring him back to me
[ [Dbm7] ] [Cm] [Fm] [Cm]
Oh, melancholy mood
