Louis Armstrong, Kay Starr
Key: Eb

 3 -3*  -3* 3   3*   -3*  3*  3  -2
I'm so blue I don't know what to do
 3  -3*   -3*    3   3* -3*  3*   3  -2
All day through I'm pin-ing just for you
-1*-2   2   -3* -4  5  -5   5 -3* 3
I did wrong when I let you go a-way. 
-2* -2  3   -3  -3* 4   -5    4   -2  -3*
For now I grieve a-bout you night and day. 
-3* 4  -5  5* -5  -3*  5  -2  -3*
I'm un-hap-py and dis-sat-is-fied. 
 3   3 -2* -2  3  -3-3* 4  -5  4  -2  -3*
But I'd be hap-py if I had you by my side. 

-5-5*  6   -6  -5  -5*  5   -5  -4    5
If I could be with you I'd love you strong. 
-4 5  -5  -5*  5   -5  -4   4    3   3*
If I could be with you I'd love you long
3  4    3 -2*  3  -3*  3   -2* 3
I want you to know I would-n't go 
-2 -1* -2 3    3*  -3* 4   -5  4  3   -2* -2
Un-til I told you, hon-ey, why I love you so. 

-5-5*  6   -6  -5  -5*  5   -5  -4   5
If I could be with you one hour to-night. 
-4 5 -5   -5* 5  -5 -4    4    3   3*
If I was free to do the things I might
 3   -2   2  -2   -5
I'm tell-ing you true
 5  -5 -5*-2* 3   -5   5
I'd be an-y-thing but blue, 
-3*5   3  -3*  3   -1*
If I could be with you
