Blue Mood
By Jerry Jeff Walker
Album: Navajo Rug


G                           G7         C       C/B     Am7
Well I'd already turned the lights out, almost gone to sleep

       D7                                    Am7      D7            G
When a little voice inside me asked, are you all you thought you'd be?

                                    G7        C         C/B           Am7
This late night singing's just like dreaming, more like talking to yourself

D7                                 Am7   D7        G
I don't find many answers, but the music seems to help.


            Cmaj7                   Bm7
It's just a blue mood I'm in, comes every now and then

         Am7                D7                     G
It's the kind that softly knocks you down to your knees

    Cmaj7                         Bm7
But it's gonna pass in time, in a day or two, well, I'll be fine

        Am7                      D7                G
Just tonight those blues got the last ol' laugh on me.


I heard they got Suzanna's money, like they stole Fred Neilson's mind
Well, I guess that reinforces music's all we've got sometimes,
Life's mostly handshakes and divorces, true blue friends that bend and sway
While the price of living honestly comes harder every day.

(Chorus)

Yeah, I've been recovering from surgery, yea, they took a piece of me,
Well, I've been cut much deeper, I always got back on my feet,
But with the passing of John Henry, then the loss of Stevie Ray;
I see the light of our own time get dimmer every day.

(Chorus)
