Intro: Am Am7+ Am Am7+ Am Am7+ Am
Am A9 Am Am7+ Am C Am C Am Dm
A nocturne for the blues played on a broken 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 telephone that won't ring
Dm D9 Dm Dm7+ F7 E7 Fdim Am
Just memories remain 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 A# G#7 F#7 E7
The morning 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 inside
E D C A# G#7 F#7 E7 Fdim Am
The gleaming 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
