C7        Fm7 Am7  D7     Gm7
[tab]C7               F7
    Ain't these tears

D7    G7    C7       F6   D7 Gm7
In my eyes  tell-in' you?

[Chorus 1]

C7        Fm7 Am7  D7         Gm7
Am I blue?         You'll be too,

C7           F7    D7           G7
   If each plan    with you man

C7           F6
Done fell through.

[Bridge]

E7         Am7            Bm7b5
Was a time      I was his only one,

E7             Bm7b5  E7
   But now I'm         the sad

     Am7       D7    Gm7
And lonely one,    "Lawdy,"

[Verse 2]

C7        Fm7 Am7  D7      Gm7
Was I gay?         'til today,

C7            F7   D7                 G7
    Now he's gone  and we're through,

C7     F6
Am I blue?
