Mood Indigo
D A D B7 C A D A7
You ain't been blue, no, no, no;
D A D B7 Fm7 A A9 A
You ain't been blue 'til you've had that mood in-di-go.
D Dm7 D7 G6 G5 Gm
That feelin' goes stealin' down, down to my shoes
A D A D B7 C A D A7
While I sit and sigh, "So long, blues."
D D6 D E E6 E
I always get that mood in-di-go
A6 A A7 D Fdim A
Since my baby said, "Good-bye."
D D6 D E E6 E
And in the eve-nin', when lights are low,
Fm7 A
I'm so lonesome I could cry
D9 D Dm7 G
'Cause there's nobody who cares about me;
Gm7 A A7 D
I'm just as blue as blue can be.
D6 E E6 E
I always get that mood in-di-go --
A6 A A7 D Fdim A
I could lay me down and die.
D A D B7 C A D A7
You ain't been blue, no, no, no;
D A D B7 Fm7 A A9 A
You ain't been blue 'til you've had that mood in-di-go.
D Dm7 D7 G6 G5 Gm
That feelin' goes stealin' down, down to my shoes
A D A D B7 C A D A D
While I sit and sigh, "So long, blues."
