As recorded by Loretta Lynn (From the 1963 Album LORETTA LYNN SINGS) [Intro] D A E A [Verse 1]
E   A                                      D       A
Up above me are the skies like the twinkle in your eyes

D                    A            E
These things are the color of the blues

       A                      E           A     D          A
In the mail your letter came, the ink and paper looked the same

D                A     E      A
Blue must be the color of the blues
[Verse 2]
         D                            A
Bluebird singin' in the tree seems to sympathize with me

    D                A               E
But he ain't singin' like he used to do

           A                 E        A       D        A
The pretty waters in the sea still as cold as you left me

D                A     E      A
Blue must be the color of the blues
[Piano Solo] D A E A [Verse 3]
A                                              D        A
There's a rainbow overhead with more blue than gold and red

D                A            E7
Blue must be the color angels choose

       A                                        D       A
A blue suit you proudly wore when you left to return no more

D                A     E      A
Blue must be the color of the blues
[Verse 4]
          D                            A
Blue days come and blue days go, how I feel, nobody knows

D              A             E7
Life is mighty empty without you

          A                                        D           A
There's a blue note in each song that I sing since you've been gone

D                A     E      A
Blue must be the color of the blues
