  			Chorus:
 F        C7 
Oh dear, what can I do,
 Bb7                 C7 
Baby's in black and I'm feeling blue, 
         F   Bb7        F     C7 
Tell me oh, what can I do .

 F                     F7               Bb 
She thinks of him and so she dresses in black
                             F     C7              F  
And though he'll never come back, she's dressed in black.

**Chorus

 F                     F7               Bb 
I think of her, but she thinks only of him,
                    F     C7              F  
And though it's only a whim, she thinks of him.

Middle:
 Dm      G7                 Bb       C7 
Oh, how long will it take, till she sees the mistake
         F           C7 
She has made, dear, what can I do, 
 Bb7                 C7 
Baby's in black and I'm feeling blue, 
         F    Bb7       F    C7 
Tell me oh, what can I do .

 F                     F7               Bb 
She thinks of him and so she dresses in black
                             F     C7              F  
And though he'll never come back, she's dressed in black.

Chorus:
 F        C7 
Oh dear, what can I do,
 Bb7                 C7 
Baby's in black and I'm feeling blue,
