Chord/Tab song: Meaning of the Blues

[Am]Blue was just the c[F]olor of the [D9]sea, [E7-9]

[Am]Til [F] my lover [Bm7-5]left me;[E7]

[Am]Blue was just a [F]bluebird in a t[D9]ree, [E7-9]

[Gm7]Til [Dm7] he s[Am]aid "For[E7]get me."

[C]Blue always m[G]ade me think of [F]summer,[G]

[C]Cloudless summer s[Am7]kies so fresh and [Bm7-5]warm;[E7]

But [Am]now the blue I [F]see is more like [Am7]winter[F]

W[Dm]inter s[A7]kies with cl[F]ouds a[Bm7-5]bout to st[E]orm.

[Am]Blue was just the c[F]olor of his [D9]eyes[E7-9]

[Am]Til [F] he said "Goo[Bm7-5]dbye, love."[E7]

[Am]Blue was just a [F]ribbon for first [D9]prize[E7-9]

[Gm7]Til [Dm7] he said, "Don't [Am]cry, lo[E7]ve."

And b[F]lues were [Dm7]only [Bm7-5]torch songs[G7]

[F]Fashioned for imp[Dm7]ulsive ing[Bbm9]nues;

But [Am]now I k[F]now, too w[D9]ell I [E7-9]know,

Too [F]well I [Dm7]know the [Bm7-5]meaning [E7]of the b[Am]lues.
