For a ^Cmonth she's a perfect wife and a ^Gmother You'd never dream that things could go so ^Cwrong But like a cloud across the skies ^C7 I see the ^Fsadness fill her eyes Then one ^Gday I'll come in and she'll be ^Cgone ^C7

When ^Fbaby gets the blues my world turns ^Cover While she's ^D7out somewhere With her bright lights and ^Gher booze Until the ^Cday she comes back home ashamed and ^Fsober My world stops ^Gturning when baby gets the ^Cblues

^C As long as she has me I know I'll ^Gkeep forgiving Though I'm afraid of how much I'll someday ^Close I just can't tell you what a happy world that I ^Flive in In between the ^Gtimes that my baby gets them ol' ^Cblues ^C7

When ^Fbaby gets the blues my world turns ^Cover While she's ^D7out somewhere With her bright lights and ^Gher booze Until the ^Cday she comes back home ashamed and ^Fsober My world ^Gturns over when baby gets the ^Cblues My world turns ^Gover when baby gets the ^Cblues
