Am A9 Am Am7+ Am C Am C Am Dm
A nocturne for the blues played on a bro - ken heart string
Dm D9 Dm Dm7+ F7 E7 Fdim Am
It's wailing out the news my baby is gone from me.
Am A9 Am Am7+ Am C Am C Am Dm
Dark shadows in the rain, a tel - e - phone that won't ring
Dm D9 Dm Dm7+ F7 E7 Fdim Am
Just mem - o - ries re- main of lovers that used to be.
A Cdim G A Cdim G
I miss the laughs and the fun, my spot in the sun
A Cdim G Cdim A A7
When I was the one one and only.
D Fdim C D Fdim C
The music and lights, those wonderful nights
E D C Bb G#7 F#7 E7
The morn - ing is the time we'd kiss.
A Cdim G A Cdim G
The laughs and the fun, my days in the sun,
A Cdim G Cdim A A7
They're over and done, and I'm lonely;
D Fdim C D Fdim C
Don't ask me to hide the heartbreak in - side
E D C Bb G#7 F#7 E7 Fdim Am
The gleam - ing spark is gone, the light went dark.
Am A9 Am Am7+ Am C Am Dm
This nocturn for the blues took all and left me nothing
Dm D9 Dm Dm7+ F7 E7 Fdim Am
Nothing but the blues 'til baby comes back to me
