INTRO:  Eb

#1.
G   Eb            F#          Ab      Eb
The band and I we played from nine to five.
F#                           Ab               Eb
It didn't pay much cause the place was just a dive.
Ab               B       Db     Ab
Then one night I saw her in the crowd.
        Eb                        F#         Ab    Eb
And she asked if singing with the band would be allowed.
       Bb             Db           Ab                 B
It was just a weekday night, so, I said it would be alright.
       Eb            F#       Ab       Eb
That's how I met the girl who sang the blues.

#2.
Eb                      F#         Ab   Eb
She sang the blues like no one has ever heard.
Eb                      F#          Ab    Eb
And you could tell that she'd lived every word.
     Ab                 Abm        Db    Ab
That girl was somethin' special we could see.
         Eb             F#       Ab        Eb
Then she sang a song of love and looked at me.
     Bb               Db          Ab                     F#
That girl could do no wrong, so I let her sing all night long.
      Eb                    F#       Ab       Eb
And I fell in love with the girl who sang the blues.

BRIDGE:
  Gm      Eb          Abm               F#         Eb  F#
I still remember that fateful night the man with a big cigar,
       Ab
Walked in the club, right up to her.
       Bb        Cm                   Bb
Said, 'Hey girl, I'm gonna make you a star!'

#3.
    Eb               F#        Ab      Eb
The band and I still play from nine to five.
Eb                       F#    Ab     Eb   Ab Eb
But since that night the music ain't alive.
     Ab                   B           Db Ab
That girl still sings the songs to me I  know.
    Eb                    F#     Ab    Eb
But now she's singin' 'em on the radi..o.
Eb              Bb    Db            Abm      Ab      B
And it hurts to real..ize, I'm just one of a million guys,
   Eb                      F#       Ab        Eb
in love with the girl, the girl who sings the blues.
