I'm Thinking Tonight of My Blue Eyes 
 
As recorded by Gene Autry, 1942 
Written by A.P. Carter 
 
G                            C 
Would be better for us had we never 
        D7                     G      
In this wide, wicked world ever met. 
                                 C 
For the pleasures we've both seen together, 
      D7                     G 
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
