I'm Thinking Tonight of My Blue Eyes 
 
As recorded by Gene Autry, 1942 
Written by A.P. Carter 
 
G5                            C5 
Would be better for us had we never 
        D5                     G5      
In this wide, wicked world ever met. 
                                 C5 
For the pleasures we've both seen together, 
      D5                     G5 
I am sure love I'll never forget. 
 
Chorus 1: 
Oh, I'm thinking tonight of my blue eyes, 
Who is sailing far over the sea. 
Oh, I'm thinking tonight of my blue eyes, 
And I wonder if she ever thinks of me? 
 
Verse 2: 
Oh you told me one time that you loved me, 
And you promised that we'd never part. 
But a link in the chain has been broken 
Leaves me now with a sad and aching heart. 
 
Chorus 2: 
Oh I'm thinking tonight of my blue eyes, 
Who is waiting far over the sea. 
Oh I'm thinking tonight of her only, 
And I wonder if she ever thinks of me? 
 
Verse 3: 
When in time the cold grey should enclose me, 
Will you come dear and shed just one tear? 
Will you say to the strangers around you, 
A poor heart you've broken lies here? 
 
Repeat Chorus 2
