Blue Melodies

(Capo on 2)

Intro.:  |(G) |(D)

I don't know (G)how to write you a (C)song
That says, I'm (G)sorry, I know I was (D)wrong
I can't find the (G) words that don't make it (C)cheap
It's right on the (G)verge (D) and just out of (G)reach

(Chorus)
It must be a (C)sad song with a blue melo-(Em)dy
And I'll bet you it's (D)lonesome, as lonesome as can (G)be
But I'm starting to (C)wonder if there's such a (Em)thing (C)
As a (G)sad song (D) that's too sad to (G) sing (D)

Maybe to-(G)night, maybe this time to-(C)morrow
Me and this (G)guitar will get right with this (D)sorrow
And I'll play it for (G)you, (G7) and you'll come back to (C) me
'Cause you were always (G) a fool (D) for the blue melo-(G)dies

(Chorus)
So it must be a (C)sad song in three quarter (Em)time
That chills down to (D) the bone when the steel guitars (G)cry
But if it's not the (C)one that brings you home to (Em)me (C)
Then it's just a (G)sad song (D) that's too sad to (G) sing

Inst.:  |(C) |(C) |(Em) |(Em) |(D) |(D) |(G)

Oh, but if it's not the (C)one that brings you back to (Em)me (C)
Then it's just a (G)sad song (D) that's too sad to (Em)sing (C)
