I’m thinking tonight of my Blue Eyes       (Listen to sample)

 

                            G                                      C

1. It would been better for us both had we never,

                D                         D7                       G

    in this wide and wicked world had never met,

                                                               C

    for the pleasure we both seemed to gather,

            D                  D7           G

    I'm sure, love, I'll never forget.

 

               G                                C

Oh, I'm thinking tonight of my Blue Eyes,

             D            D7           G                            

who is sailing far over the sea.

                                                  C

Oh, I'm thinking tonight of my Blue Eyes,

            D               D7                   G

and I wonder if he ever thinks of me.

 

                  G                                           C

2. Oh, you told me once, dear, that you loved me,

             D                 D7                G

    you said that we never would part,

                                                         C

    but a link in the chain has been broken,

                 D              D7                      D                        

    leaving me with a sad and aching heart.    + CHORUS

 

                      G                                     C

3. When the cold, cold grave shall enclose me,

                   D                       D7                 G

    will you come near and shed just one tear?

                                                      C

    Will you say to the strangers around you,

                  D                      D7             G

    a poor heart you have broken lies here?   + CHORUS
