I think I'm going to smile for awhile, Pull the curtain back and let some 
moonlight in; 
Am                                               D                           G 
D 
Gossip on the phone with my old friends, like I used to do 
                G 
C 
I'm gonna put your memory away, Show this aching in my heart a thing or two 
              G           A               C     D          G 
Cause tonight......I'm getting even with the blues. 
 
                           C 
CHORUS: That lonely feeling's had it's way 
  B                         C  D                     G 
ever since the day, I heard you say goodbye 
          C           
The hurtin' thinks it's found a home 
  B                           C                   Am              D 
But I'm gonna let it know, it ain't welcome here tonight 
 
        G 
Tomorrow that old cloud may come around 
                                               G 
and there won't be anything that I can do 
           G     A               C     D          G 
But tonight I'm getting even with the blues 
 
( instr)     Play chorus and then final line 
          G        A               C     D           C...G 
Oh tonight....I'm getting even with the blues 
 
Enjoy!!
