Blue Mood     Jerry Jeff Walker

(E)    (E4)    (E)    (E4)    (E)    (E4)     (E)     (E4)  
Well I'd a(E)lready turned the (E7)lights out, (A) almost gone to (F#m7)sleep,
When a (B)little voice in(A)side me asked,
“Are you (B7)all you thought you'd (E)be?” (E4)    (E)    (E4)    (E)
This late night singing's just like (E7)dreaming, more like (A) just talking to your(F#m7)self.
Yeah, I (B)don't find many (A)answers, but the (B7)music seems to (E)help. (E4)    (E)(hold)

It's just a (Aj7)blue mood I'm in, comes (G#m)every now and then,
It's the (F#m7)kind that softly (B)knocks you down to your (E)knees. (E4)    (E)    (E4)
But (Aj7)it's gonna pass in time, in a (G#m)day or two, well, I'll be fine.
Itīs just to(F#m7)night those blues got the (B)last ol' laugh on (E)me. (E4)    (E)    (E4)

I heard they (E)got Suzanna's (E7)money, like they (A)stole Fred Neilīs and (F#m7)mine.
Well, I (B)guess that rein(A)forces music's (B7)all we've got some(E)times. (E4)    (E)    (E4)
Hell, life's (E)mostly handshakes and di(E7)vorces
True-blue (A)friends that bend and swa(F#m7)y,
Ah, the (B)price for living (A)honestly comes (B7)hard-earned every (E)day. (E4)    (E)(hold)

It's just a (Aj7)blue mood I'm in, comes (G#m)every now and then,
It's the (F#m7)kind that softly (B)knocks you down to your (E)knees. (E4)    (E)    (E4)
But (Aj7)it's gonna pass in time, in a (G#m)day or two, well, I'll be fine.
Itīs just to(F#m7)night those blues got the (B)last ol' laugh on (E)me. (E4)    (E)    (E4)
 - Instrumental, half a verse - 

Yeah, I've been re(E)covering from (E7)surgery, (A) yeah, they took a piece of (F#m7)me.
Well, (B)I've been cut much (A)deeper, I always (B7)got back on my (E)feet, (E4)   (E)    (E4)
But with the (E)passing of John (E7)Henry, then the (A)loss of Stevie  Ray,(F#m7)
I (B)see the light of (A)our own time get (B7)dimmer every (E)day. (E4)    (E)(hold)

It's just a (Aj7)blue mood I'm in, comes (G#m)every now and then,
It's the (F#m7)kind that softly (B)knocks you down to your (E)knees. (E4)    (E)    (E4)
But (Aj7)it's gonna pass in time, in a (G#m)day or two, well, I'll be fine.
But to(F#m7)night those blues got the (B)last ol' laugh on (E)me. (E4)    (E)    (E4)
Yeah, to(F#m7)night those blues got the (B)last ol' laugh on (E)me. (E4)    (E)    (E4)    
(E)    (E4)    (E)
