C G E7 A7 D7 G
[Chorus]
G
Shadows just can’t get out of these shadows
A7
Since my baby said goodbye
D D7
I used to walk alone in the sunlight
C G
So happy then was I

But one day my sweet baby up and left me
A7
I’ll never know the reason why

Now there’s shadows everywhere I go

The sunshine has passed me by

Now I sing a blues song with tears in my eyes

Our love could never be
[Chorus]
G
Shadows just can’t get out of these shadows

Since my baby said goodbye

I used to walk alone in the sunlight

So happy then was I

But one day my sweet baby up and left me
A7
I’ll never know the reason why

Now there’s shadows everywhere I go
A7 D7 G
The sunshine has passed me by
