Written by Joe Bonamassa
Am F D9 E7/9-
Blue was just the color of the sea
Am F Bm5-/7 E7
Til my lover left me
Am F D9 E7/9-
Blue was just a bluebird in a tree
Gm7 Dm7 Am E7
Til he said "Forget me"
C G F G
Blue always made me think of summer
C Am7 Bm5-/7 E7
Cloudless summer skies so fresh and warm
Am F Am7 F
But now the blue I see is more like winter
Dm A7 F Bm5-/7 E
Winter skies with clouds about to storm
Am F D9 E7/9-
Blue was just the color of his eyes
Am F Bm5-/7 E7
Til he said "Goodbye, love"
Am F D9 E7/9-
Blue was just a ribbon for first prize
Gm7 Dm7 Am E7
Til he said, "Don't cry, love"
F Dm7 Bm5-/7 G7
And blues were only torch songs
F Dm7 Bbm9
Fashioned for impulsive ingénues
Am F D9 E7/9-
But now I know, too well I know
F Dm7 Bm5-/7 E7 Am
Too well I know the meaning of the blues
