Blue Mood

E


[Verse 1]
E                                     E7 A                   F#m7
Well I'd already turned the lights out,   almost gone to sleep
       B                   A                 B                      E
When a little voice inside me asked, are you all you thought you'd be?
                                            E7
This late night singing's just like dreaming
         A                   F#m7
More like talking to yourself
  B               A                B                 E Esus4 E
I don't find many answers, but the music seems to help


[Chorus]
            Amaj7                   G#m
It's just a blue mood I'm in, comes every now and then
         F#m7             B                       E   A E
It's the kind that softly knocks you down to your knees
    Amaj7                         G#m
But it's gonna pass in time, in a day or two, well, I'll be fine
       F#m7                      B                  E A E
Just tonight those blues got the last ol' laugh on me

[Verse 2]
B            E               E7        A                              F#m
I heard they got Suzanna's money, like they stole Fred Neil's and mine
        B              A              B                   E  A E
Well, I guess that reinforces music's all we've got sometimes
A         E                    E7
Life's mostly handshakes and divorces
          A                         F#m7
True blue friends that bend and sway
          B               A              B                   E
While the price of living honestly comes hard earned every day


[Chorus]
            Amaj7                   G#m7
It's just a blue mood I'm in, comes every now and then
         F#m7             B                       E   A E
It's the kind that softly knocks you down to your knees
    Amaj7                         G#m
But it's gonna pass in time, in a day or two, well, I'll be fine
       F#m7                      B                  E A E
Just tonight those blues got the last ol' laugh on me

[Verse 3]
A           E                E7    A                           F#m7
God, been recovering from surgery, yea, they took a piece of me
      B                  A                B                E A E
Well, I've been cut much deeper, I always got back on my feet
A            E               E7          A                     F#m7
But with the passing of John Henry, then the loss of Stevie Ray;
  B7               A                B             E A E
I see the light of our own time get dimmer every day


[Out-Chorus]
            Amaj7                   G#m7
It's just a blue mood I'm in, comes every now and then
         F#m7             B                       E   A E
It's the kind that softly knocks you down to your knees
    Amaj7                         G#m
But it's gonna pass in time, in a day or two, well, I'll be fine
       F#m7                      B                  E A E
Just tonight those blues got the last ol' laugh on me
A       F#m7                      B                  E A E A E A E
Yeah, tonight those blues got the last ol' laugh on me
