1. Well, I never felt more like singin' the blues,

    'cause I never thought that I'd ever lose

            G              - A                                      D

    your love dear.      Why'd you do me this way ?

 

                 D                           G

2. Well, I never felt more like cryin' all night,

                 D                                    A

    'cause everything's wrong, and nothin' ain’t right

            G         - A                                        D     - D7

    without you,       you got me singin' the blues.

 

              G                         D

    The moon and stars no longer shine,

              G                       

    the dream is gone I thought was mine,

                 G                   D                                      A    - A7

    there's nothin' left for me to do, but cr....y over you.

 

                 D                           G

3. Well, I never felt more like runnin' away,

             D                               A

    but why should I go ‘cause I couldn't stay,

            G          - A                                       D 

    without you,       you got me singin' the blues.
