VERSE
[Cm]Melancholy mood[Dm7] forever [G7]haunts me
[Cm]Steals upon me in the night
[Dm7] Forever [G7]taunts me
[C]Oh, what a lonely soul am I
[Dm7]Stranded high and [G7]dry
Cm | Ab7 G7 |
By a melancholy mood
VERSE
[Cm]Gone is every joy[Dm7] and inspi[G7]ration
[Cm]Tears are all I have to show
[Dm7] No conso[G7]lation
[C]All I can see is grief and gloom
[Dm7]Till the crack of [G7]doom
Cm | Ab7 G7 Cm |
Oh, melancholy mood
MIDDLE 8
[Fm]Deep in the night
[Fm]I search for a [Bb7]trace
Of a [Ebmaj7]lingering kiss,[Ebmaj7] a warm embrace
But [Ab]love is a whimsy
And as [Ab]flimsy as lace
And [Am7-5]my arms embrace[Ab7] an empty [G7]space
VERSE
[Cm]Melancholy mood,[Dm7] why must you [G7]blind me
[Cm]Pity me and break the chains
[Dm7] The chains that [G7]bind me
[C]Won't you release me, set me free
[Dm7] Bring him back to me
[(] [Dbm7] Oh[)], [Cm]melan[Fm]choly [Cm]mood
