155 - Singing The Blues
Verse 1
Well I ne-ver felt more like sing-ing the blues,
‘cause I- never thought that I’d ever lose your love, Dear
^ Why’d you do me this way?
Verse 2
Well I ne-ver felt more like cry-ing all night
‘cause ev-’rything’s wrong and no-thing ain’t right with-out you
^ You got me singing the blues.
Middle 8
The moon and the stars no long-er shine
The dream is gone I thought was mine
There’s no-thing left for me to do but
Cry – aye– aye - aye (half bar)ov-er you
Verse 3
Well I ne-ver felt more like run-ning away
But why should I go, “cause I- couldn’t stay with-out you
^ You got me singing the blues.
