Lyrics

[Intro]
| D7 | G7 | D7 | A7 |

[Verse 1]
D7
  I've been downhearted baby
G7 D7
     Ever since the day we met
G7
  I've been downhearted baby
D7
  Ever since the day we met

[Chorus]
A7
  Our love is nothing but the blues,
G7 D7                       A7
     Baby, how blue can you get?

[Verse 2]
D7
  You're evil when I'm with you
G7               D7
  And you are jealous when we're apart
            G7
Yes, I said you're evil
                                    D7
You're so evil when I'm with you, baby
And you are jealous when we're apart

[Chorus]
A7
  How blue can you get, babe?
G7       D7                          A7
  The answer's right here in my heart

[Bridge]
D7
  I gave you a brandnew Ford
You said I want a Cadillac
I bought you a ten dollar dinner
You said thanks for the snack
I let you live in my penthouse
You said it was just a shack
I gave you a seven children
And now you want to give them back
                   G7
Yes, I've been downhearted baby

[Chorus]
               D7
Ever since the day we met
    A7
Our love is nothing but the blues
G7          D7
  Baby, how blue can you get?
