[D]
Without a [Em] word of warning, [B] [D]
the blues [Em]
walked [B] in this morning [G] [D] and circled [Em]
around my [D] lonely room.
I didn't know [G] what a sad [Dm] and lonely feeling [G]
until [Fm]
my baby [D] called and said we're through.
[Em]
[F#m]

Yesterday this time I sang a love song, [Dm] [G]
but today [D]
[A] [Dm]
I'm singing [D] the [F#] blues.

[C#] [D]
It [Bm] strikes me kind of funny [Em] [D] how [Dm] love can [Em] be [D] this way.
[A] [D]
[Dm] We were lovers last [Em] night honey,
[D] [Dm] but I'm [Bm] alone again [D] today.
[A] [D]
And it strikes me [Em] kind of funny how [D]
[Dm] [B] fate can be [D] unfair.
[A] [B] [D]
[Dm] I come [Em] out on the losing end [D]
in every way.
[G]
Yes, it [Dm] must be, it must be written for [D] me [G]
that [D] I should be the one, be the one to always [Em] lose.
[G#] [F#]
[Am] [B]
For yesterday, [E]
yesterday this time I sang a love song, [G#] [G]
[Fm] [A]
[Dm] but today I'm singing the [D] blues.
