Song Sung Blue

Words & Music:

Neil Diamond

 

C                         G

Song sung blue, everybody knows one.

G7                           C

Song sung blue, every garden grows one.

C7                             F

Me and you are subject to, the blues now and then.

    G

But when you take the blues and make a song,

              C                         Dm  G7

You sing them out again, sing them out again,

 

Song sung blue, weepin' like a willow,

Song sung blue, sleepin' on my pillow.

Funny thing, but you can sing it with a cry in your voice,

G

And before you know it start to feelin' good,

           C      G7

You simply got no choice.

 

INSTRUMENTAL HALF-VERSE:

 

Funny thing, but you can sing it with a cry in your voice,

And before you know it start to feelin' good,

You simply got no choice.

 

Song sung blue, weepin' like a willow,

Song sung blue, sleepin' on my pillow.

Funny thing, but you can sing it with a cry in your voice,

And before you know it start to feelin' good,

You simply got no choice.
