Learning the Blues Tabs & Lyrics by Frank Sinatra
Learning the Blues
guitar tabs lyrics
G Am7 D7 D9 G
The tables are empty - the dance floor's deserted;
G Am7 D7 D+ G
You play the same love song - it's the tenth time you've heard it.
G7 C Cm G Bm7-5 E7
That's the beginning just one of the clues;
Am7 D7 D+ G Gdim D7
You've had your first lesson - in learnin' the blues.
Am7 D7 D9 G
The cigarettes you light - one after another
Am7 D7 D+ G
Won't help you forget her and the way that you love her.
G7 C Cm G Bm7-5 E7
You're only burnin' a torch you can't lose,
Am7 D7 D+ G Gdim G
But you're on the right track for learnin' the blues.
Bridge:
G7 C Am
When you're at home alone,
C C7 G
The blues will taunt you constantly;
G7 C Am
When you're out in a crowd,
C C7 G D
The blues will haunt your memory.
G Am7 D7 D9 G
The nights when you don't sleep the whole night you're cryin',
G Am7 D7 D+ G
But you can't forget her -- soon you even stop tryin'.
G7 C Cm G Bm7-5 E7
You'll walk that floor and wear out your shoes;
Am7 D7 D+ G Gdim G
When you feel your heart break. you're learnin' the blues.
Repeat Bridge:
G Am7 D7 D9 G
The nights when you don't sleep the whole night you're cryin';
G Am7 D7 D+ G
But you can't forget her -- soon you even stop tryin'.
G7 C Cm G Bm7-5 E7
You'll walk that floor and wear out your shoes;
Am7 D7 D+ G G/F# Bm7-5 E7
When you feel your heart break, you're learnin' the blues.
Coda:
Am7 D7 D+ G Gdim G
When you feel your heart break, you're learnin' the blues.
