[Db]
[Ebm] [Ab]
[Db] [Bb] [Eb]
[A] [Db]
I'm just a woman, a lonely [Gb] woman, waiting on [Db] the weary shore.
I'm just a [Bbm] woman that's only human, [C] one you should be [Fm] sorry for.
[Abm] [Ebm]
Woke up this [Gbm] morning alone [Ab] about dawn, [Db] without a [Gb] warning I found he [Ab] was gone.
[Db] How could he do [C] it?
[Db] Why [Bbm] should he do [Eb] it?
He'd never done it [Ab]
before.
[Db] Am I blue?
Am [Ab] I blue?
Ain't these [Db]
[Bb] tears in [Eb] these [Ab] eyes [Db] telling you?
[Ab] [Bb] Am [Db] I blue?
Why you'd [Ab] be too, if [Db] each plan [Gm] we [Eb] all [Ab] manned and [Db] fell through.
[Bb] [Db] [Fm] There was a time [C]
he's only one, but now I'm the sad [Fm] and lonely [Ebm] one.
[Ab] Lord, he [Db] was a gay until [Ab] today.
Now [Db] he's gone [Bb] and [Eb] we're through.
[Ab] [Db] Am I blue?
[Bbm] [Db]
I [Abm] know it.
[Eb] [Db] He's in Chicago and I'm down here in Birmingham.
[Gb] Trying to get the money to go and [Ab] find my honey, I [Db] am.
[Gb] [Ab] Yes, indeed [Db] I am.
[Ab] I've got the blues in my heart [Bb] and my [Ab] shoes want to start.
[Db] Yet I'm in a jam, a terrible jam.
Oh, don't ask me am I blue?
[Ebm]
[Ab] Why do you ask me am I blue?
[Db] Ain't these [Bb] tears [Eb] in these [Ab] eyes [Db] telling you?
[Ab] [Bbm]
[Db] Again you ask me am I blue?
[Ebm]
[Ab] Why wouldn't you be too, [Bbm]
if each plan [Eb] your [Ab] man has [Db] done fell through?
[B] [Fm]
Don't I remember the time [C]
when I was his only one?
But look at me now, I'm [Fm]
the sad [Ebm] and [Ab] lonely [Db] one.
Oh, didn't I used to be [Ab] gay until [Db] today?
[Bb] Now I'm [Eb] with [Ab] you, [Db] Lord, am I blue?
[A] [Db]
