Harlem Nocturne

Am       A9   Am  Am7+  Am       C  Am    C   Am    Dm
A nocturne for the blues played on a bro - ken heart string

Dm           D9  Dm  Dm7+    F7      E7   Fdim Am
It's wailing out the news my baby is gone from me.

Am           A9 Am  Am7+    Am    C    Am    C   Am    Dm
Dark shadows in the rain, a tel - e - phone that won't ring

Dm              D9  Dm  Dm7+    F7          E7  Fdim Am
Just mem - o - ries re- main of lovers that used to  be.

            A        Cdim G        A     Cdim  G
I miss the laughs and the fun, my spot in the sun

     A    Cdim G   Cdim    A      A7
When I was the one one and only.

     D   Fdim   C            D   Fdim  C
The music and lights, those wonderful nights

     E      D  C  Bb   G#7 F#7   E7
The morn - ing is the time we'd kiss.

      A        Cdim G       A     Cdim  G
The laughs and the fun, my days in the sun,

        A   Cdim  G       Cdim  A      A7
They're over and done, and I'm lonely;

       D    Fdim  C       D        Fdim   C
Don't ask me to hide the heartbreak in - side

     E       D    C   Bb  G#7  F#7  E7   Fdim  Am
The gleam - ing spark is gone, the light went dark.

Am           A9  Am   Am7+  Am           C   Am  Dm
This nocturn for the blues took all and left me nothing

Dm       D9  Dm  Dm7+      F7          E7 Fdim Am
Nothing but the blues 'til baby comes back to  me
