LEARNIN’ THE BLUES
By: Dolores Silvers
Frank Sinatra, Michael Buble,
Ella Fitzgerald
Key: Bb

-1  -1* -1  -1* -2  3
The ta-bles are emp-ty 
-3   -3      3    -2   3  -1
the dance floor`s de-sert-ed 
-1   -1* -1   -1*  -2    3
You play the same love song 
 -2   3    -3    3    -2     3   -5
It`s the tenth time you`ve heard it 
  -5   -5  -3* -5   5 
That`s the be-gin-ning 
 -3*  5*  5 -3*   -2 
Just one of the clues 
  -1   -1*  -1   -1*  -2   3
You`ve had your first les-son 
4*  4* 4 -3*  3   -3*
in learn-in’ the blues  

The cigarettes you light one after the other 
Won`t help you forget her and 
the way that you love her 
You`re only burnin` a torch you can`t lose 
But you`re on the right track 
for learnin’ the blues

CHORUS 

-3*     4   -3*  4 -3* 4*
When you`re at home a-lone 
-3*   4   -3*    4*   4  -3*   3   -2
the blues will taunt you con-stant-ly 
 -3*    4   -3* 4 -3*  4*
When you`re out in a crowd 
-3*   4    -3*   4*   4   -3* 3 -2
the blues will haunt your mem-o-ry 

 
The nights when you don`t sleep 
the whole night you`re crying 
But you can`t forget her 
soon you even stop trying 
You`ll walk the floor and wear out your shoes 
When you feel your heart break you`re 
learnin’ the blues
