Moody Blue

(James)





Version 1          Version 2   



Well it's hard to be a gambler
Betting on a number that changes every time
When you think your gonna win
You think she's giving in
A stranger's all you find
Well its hard to figure out
What she's all about
But she's woman through and through
She's a complicated lady
So colour my baby Moody Blue


* Oh, moody blue, tell me am I getting through
I keep hanging on, tryin' to learn this song but I never do
Oh, moody blue, tell me who I'm talking to
You're like night and day, it's hard to say which one is you


Well when Monday comes she's Tuesday
When Tuesday comes she's Wednesday
And you're another day again
Her personality unwinds just like a ball of twine
On a spool that never ends
Just when I think I know her well
Her emotions reveal she's not the person that I thought I knew
She's a complicated lady
So colour my baby Moody Blue


* Repeat


Oh I'm frettin' 'bout moody blue, Mmm mm


** Oh, moody blue, tell me who I'm talking to
Yeh, like night and day, it's hard to say which one is you


Yeh, moody blue, tell me am I getting through
I keep hanging on, tryin' to learn this song but I never do


** Repeat

Standard tuning.
