Вступление
I'm Thinking Tonight Of My Blue Eyes
As recorded by Eddy Arnold in the mid-40's.
Originally by the Carter Family in 1929
Written by A.P. Carter (of the Carter Family)
Note: Various artists have 'changed' some of the chords/lyrics
to various versions of this song. This is Eddy's version via
the youtube link below. (later artists have written entire 'new'
songs around the beat/sound of this one.)
Chord F, with capo on First Fret to match the youtube video.
I usually transpose to C or G to match my own vocals, plus that
gets rid of the Bb which I sometimes find hard for my arthritic fingers.
V#1
Would been better for us both had we never
In this wide and wicked world had never met
For the pleasures we both seemed together
I am sure, love, I'll never forget
Chorus
Oh I'm thinking tonight of my blues eyes
Who is sailing far over the sea
Oh I'm thinking tonight of her only
And I wonder if she ever thinks of me
Instrumental (a whole verse)
V#2
Oh you told me once dear that you love me
And you said that we never would part
But a link in the chain has been broken
Leaving me with a sad and aching heart
Chorus
Oh I'm thinking tonight of my blues eyes
Who is sailing far over the sea
Oh I'm thinking tonight of her only
And I wonder if she ever thinks of me
Instrumental (a whole verse again)
V#3
When the cold, cold grave shall enclose me
Won't you come dear and shed just one tear
And say to the strangers around you
A poor heart you have broken lies here
Chorus
Oh I'm thinking tonight of my blues eyes
Who is sailing far over the sea
Oh I'm thinking tonight of her only
And I wonder if she ever thinks of me
End.
