MOOD INDIGO
By: Duke Ellington, Irving Mills,
    Albany Bigard
From: Sophisticated Ladies
Key: Ab

 4   -4     4    4   -5* -4  4
You ain't been blue; no, no, no. 
 4   -4     4    4
You ain't been blue, 
 -4    -4   -3   3*   3   -2 -2* 3
Till you've had that mood in-di-go. 
 3*   3*   3   -5*  -6   -5*
That feel-in' goes steal-in' 
 4*  4* 4*  -3*
down to my shoes 
  -4  4 -4   4   4    -5*   -4    4
While I sit and sigh, "Go 'long blues". 

-1* 2   -2  -1*   -1  4  -4 -3*
Al-ways get that mood in-di-go, 
  4  -3* 3* -2   3   -3* -1* 
Since my ba-by said good-bye. 
-1* 2  -2  -1*   -1    4    -4  -3*
In the eve-nin' when lights are low, 
 4  -4  4    -4  4   -4  -3* 
I'm so lone-some I could cry. 
  3*     3*  -1* 3* -3*-1*  3*  -3* -1* 3*
Cause there's no-bod-y who cares a-bout me, 
 3*  -3* 3* -4   3*
I'm just a soul who's 
-4  3* -3*   3*   2  -1*
Blu-er than blue can be. 
-1*  2 -2   -1*  -1  4  -4 -3*
When I get that mood in-di-go 
4   -3*  3* -2  3   -3*  3*
I could lay me down and die. 

REPEAT & end with

-5*   -4    4…
"Go 'long blues".
