A nocturne for the blues played on a bro - ken heart string 
D5           D5  D5  D5    F5      E5   F5 A5 
It's wailing out the news my baby is gone from me. 
A5           A5 A5  A5    A5    C5    A5    C5   A5    D5 
Dark shadows in the rain, a tel - e - phone that won't ring 
D5              D5  D5  D5    F5          E5  F5 A5 
Just mem - o - ries re- main of lovers that used to  be. 
            A5        C5 G5        A5     C5  G5 
I miss the laughs and the fun, my spot in the sun 
     A5    C5 G5   C5    A5      A5 
When I was the one one and only. 
     D5   F5   C5            D5   F5  C5     
The music and lights, those wonderful nights 
     E5      D5  C5  Bb5   G#5 F#5   E5 
The morn - ing is the time we'd kiss. 
      A5        C5 G5       A5     C5  G5 
The laughs and the fun, my days in the sun, 
        A5   C5  G5       C5  A5      A5 
They're over and done, and I'm lonely; 
       D5    F5  C5       D5        F5   C5 
Don't ask me to hide the heartbreak in - side 
     E5       D5    C5   Bb5  G#5  F#5  E5   F5  A5 
The gleam - ing spark is gone, the light went dark. 
A5           A5  A5   A5  A5           C5   A5  D5 
This nocturn for the blues took all and left me nothing 
D5       D5  D5  D5      F5          E5 F5 A5 
Nothing but the blues 'til baby comes back to  me
