I'm Thinking Tonight Of My Blue Eyes As recorded by Eddy Arnold in the mid-40's. Originally by the Carter Family in 1929 Written by A.P. Carter (of the Carter Family) Note: Various artists have 'changed' some of the chords/lyrics to various versions of this song. This is Eddy's version via the youtube link below. (later artists have written entire 'new' songs around the beat/sound of this one.) Chord F, with capo on First Fret to match the youtube video. I usually transpose to C or G to match my own vocals, plus that gets rid of the Bb which I sometimes find hard for my arthritic fingers. V#1
FWould been better for us both had we Bbnever In this C7wide and wicked world had never Fmet For the pleasures we both seemed Bbtogether I am C7sure, love, I'll never Fforget
Chorus
FOh I'm thinking tonight of my Bbblues eyes Who is C7sailing far over the Fsea Oh I'm thinking tonight of her Bbonly And I C7wonder if she ever thinks of Fme
Instrumental (a whole verse) V#2
Oh you told me once dear that you Bblove me And you C7said that we never would Fpart But a link in the chain has been Bbbroken Leaving C7me with a sad and aching Fheart
Chorus
FOh I'm thinking tonight of my Bbblues eyes Who is C7sailing far over the Fsea Oh I'm thinking tonight of her Bbonly And I C7wonder if she ever thinks of Fme
Instrumental (a whole verse again) V#3
When the cold, cold grave shall Bbenclose me Won't C7you come dear and shed just one Ftear And say to the strangers Bbaround you A poor C7heart you have broken liesF here
Chorus
FOh I'm thinking tonight of my Bbblues eyes Who is C7sailing far over the Fsea Oh I'm thinking tonight of her Bbonly And I C7wonder if she ever thinks of Fme
