I Don’t know when

I’ve been so (G)blue,

don’t know (Am)what’s come (B)o ver you,

but you’ve found some one (D9)new

and (F)don’t it make my (Em)brown eyes (F6)blue.

I I’ll be fine

to when you’re (G)gone,

I’ll just (Am)cry just (B)all night long,

but say it is n’t (D9)true

and (F)don’t it make my (Em)brown eyes (F6)blue.

(Dm7)don’t it make my (F)brown eyes (C)blue.

Tell me no (Em)se crets,

tell me some (C)lies,

give me no (Em)rea sons, give me (F)al i bis.

Tell me you (Em)love me and don’t make me (C)cry,

say an y (Em)thing but (F)don’t say good bye.

(F)don’t it make my (Em)brown eyes, (Dm7)don’t it make my (Em)brown eyes, (F)don’t it make my (F)brown eyes...

(F)don’t it make my (Em)brown eyes, (Dm7)don’t it make my (Em)brown eyes, (F)don’t it make my (F)brown eyes (C)blue.
