well the suns done gone don’t hand me no light

the miles between can’t begin to undo
    Bb                F                Cm
the feeling you will never see another like her


Bb                F                       Cm           Eb
damn the lonesome ways and the young and foolish days
Bb              F                   Cm

Bb                   F                  Cm            Eb
with the sink of the ship, I’m going to dip into that hue
Bb           F                 Cm
till I color me like i colored you
    Cm                        Eb  
the color of a lonely heart, and the color of a lonely heart is
Bb    F     Cm
 blue...
