Blue River

 
Dm          {DmM7} 
Birds in the trees 
      Dm7        G9 
And a song on the breeze 
Bb7         Amaj7         Dm 
Blue River, why are you blue 

Dm          {DmM7} 
Light of the Moon 
         Dm7        G9 
And the starlight in view 
Bb7              A7     Amaj7  Dm 
Must they bring sadness to   you 
 

 
E7/B     E7      F7/C      E7/B 
Must you sing of days gone by 
E7/B     E7/Bb  A7 
Must you always sigh 
 

 
                 Am          Bmaj7 
Tell me why your song is sad, never glad 
Em          Gm 
Blue River, Blue River 
D               A° Bmaj7 
Do you hold the mem' ry 
Gm6       A13         D    Gm   D 
Of   a    van - ished dream 

              Am                   Bmaj7 
Sing to me of lips I've pressed and caressed 
Em          Gm 
Blue River, Blue River 
D            A° Bmaj7 
Till I saw my hopes go 
Gm6       A13        D    Gm   D 
drifting  down your stream 
 

 
Em          {EmM7}      Em7          A9 
C7          Bmaj7       Em 
 

 
                 Bm             Db7 
When I hear your lonesome song, Something's wrong 
Gbm         Am 
Blue River, Blue River 
E             Db7 
Maybe it's because I'm 
Am6      B13       E   Am  E 
just as  blue as  you
