4 -4 4 4 -5* -4 4
You ain’t been blue; no, no, no.
4 -4 4 4
You ain’t been blue,
-4 -4 -3 3* 3 -2 -2* 3
Till you’ve had that mood in-di-go.
3* 3* 3 -5* -6 -5*
That feel-in’ goes steal-in’
4* 4* 4* -3*
down to my shoes
-4 4 -4 4 4 -5* -4 4
While I sit and sigh, “Go ‘long blues”.

-1* 2 -2 -1* -1 4 -4 -3*
Al-ways get that mood in-di-go,
4 -3* 3* -2 3 -3* -1*
Since my ba-by said good-bye.
-1* 2 -2 -1* -1 4 -4 -3*
In the eve-nin’ when lights are low,
4 -4 4 -4 4 -4 -3*
I’m so lone-some I could cry.
3* 3* -1* 3* -3*-1* 3* -3* -1* 3*
Cause there’s no-bod-y who cares a-bout me,
3* -3* 3* -4 3*
I’m just a soul who’s
-4 3* -3* 3* 2 -1*
Blu-er than blue can be.
-1* 2 -2 -1* -1 4 -4 -3*
When I get that mood in-di-go
4 -3* 3* -2 3 -3* 3*
I could lay me down and die.

REPEAT & end with

-5* -4 4…
“Go ‘long blues”.
