A nocturne for the blues played on a bro - ken heart string 
Dm           D9  Dm  Dm7M    F7      E7   F? Am 
It's wailing out the news my baby is gone from me. 
Am           A9 Am  Am7M    Am    C    Am    C   Am    Dm 
Dark shadows in the rain, a tel - e - phone that won't ring 
Dm              D9  Dm  Dm7M    F7          E7  F? Am 
Just mem - o - ries re- main of lovers that used to  be. 
            A        C? G        A     C?  G 
I miss the laughs and the fun, my spot in the sun 
     A    C? G   C?    A      A7 
When I was the one one and only. 
     D   F?   C            D   F?  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        C? G       A     C?  G 
The laughs and the fun, my days in the sun, 
        A   C?  G       C?  A      A7 
They're over and done, and I'm lonely; 
       D    F?  C       D        F?   C 
Don't ask me to hide the heartbreak in - side 
     E       D    C   Bb  G#7  F#7  E7   F?  Am 
The gleam - ing spark is gone, the light went dark. 
Am           A9  Am   Am7M  Am           C   Am  Dm 
This nocturn for the blues took all and left me nothing 
Dm       D9  Dm  Dm7M      F7          E7 F? Am 
Nothing but the blues 'til baby comes back to  me
