Intro:

D7 - G6/A

Verse 1:
    D7            G/A
Without a word of warning
    D7                  G/A
The blues walked in this morning
D7            Em7        D/F#    D7    D/C    D7
And circled round my lonely room -
              G7
I didn't know why I had
That sad and lonely feeling
         Bb9                       D7    Em7   D7/F#   B7
'Till my baby called and said it's through
E7(b9)
Yesterday I sang a love song
G/A      A7                   D7   G7   G#     D/A   A7
But today                     I    sing the blues

Verse 2:
D7                        G/A
Now it strikes me kind of funny
D7                   G/A
How life can be this way
D7                        G/A
We were lovers last night honey
D7                  G/A
But I'm alone again today
D7                        G/A
Now it strikes me kind of funny
D7              G/A
How fate can be unfair
D7            Em7
I come out on the losing end
   D/F#   D7     D/C              D7
in every, every, eeeeeeevery love affair
G7
ooooh, it must be written for me
              Bb9                  D7    Em7   D7/F#   B7
That I should be the one to always lose
E7(b9)
Yesterday this time I sang a love song
G/A      A7       D7   G7   G#     D/A   A7
But      today     I sing the blues
