[Verse]
    Gm             Cm
Without a word of warning

Gm               Cm              Gm
The blues walked in this morning

            D7        G7
And circled round my lonely room - I didn't know why I had

C7
That sad and lonely feeling

                          G7          Am7 Bm7 Bbm7
'Till my baby called and said it's through

       C7
Yesterday I sang a love song

D7                     G7  C G7 D7
But today I sing the blues
[Verse]
  Gm              Cm
I know the explenation

      Gm             Cm       Gm
But that's no consolation

                    D7           G7
No matter how you love you can lose. And since I've lost

   C7
I rather walk around and worry

                               G7       Am7 Bm7 Bbm7
I guess I've walked the darkest avenue

   C7
Yesterday I sang a love song

D7                     G7  C G7 D7
But today I sing the blues
[Bridge]
          G
Now it strikes me kind of funny

     G
How life can be this way

         G
We were lovers last night honey

     G
But not in love today

         G
Now it strikes me kind of funny

     G
How fate can be unfair

    G                  A7
It seems that I'm the one

            G7
To lose in every love affair

        C7
Yes it must be written for me

                             G7     Am7 Bm7 Bbm7
That I should be the one to always lose

   C7
Yesterday I sang a love song

D7                     G   E7 D#7 A7
But today I sing the blues
