              C  C/B  Bbm6  
One day I had to leave my country 
G  D/F#  F7M 
Calm beach and palm tree 
C  C/B  Bbm6  
That day I couldn't even cry 
G  D/F#  F7M 
And I forgot that outside there would be other men 
C          Bb7M          Am7           D9 
But today, but today, but today, I don't know why 
G                    C     Bb  C  C# 
I feel a little more blue than then 
G                    C     Bb  C  G 
I feel a little more blue than then 
G                    C     Bb  C  C# 
I feel a little more blue than then 
                   C     Bb  C   G 
I feel a little more blue than then 
 
C  C/B  Bbm6  
The day carmen miranda died 
G  D/F#  F7M 
They put a photograph in the magazine 
C  C/B  Bbm6  
Her dead mouth with red lipstick smiled 
G  D/F#  F7M 
And people cried, I was about ten 
C          Bb7M          Am7           D9 
But today, but today, but today, I don't know why 
G                    C     Bb  C  C# 
I feel a little more blue than then 
G                    C     Bb  C  G 
I feel a little more blue than then 
G                    C     Bb  C  C# 
I feel a little more blue than then 
                   C     Bb  C   G 
I feel a little more blue than then 
 
C  C/B  Bbm6  
One morning they came around to take to jail 
G  D/F#  F7M 
I smiled at them and said - all right 
C  C/B  Bbm6  
But alone in that same day's nigth 
G  D/F#  F7M 
I cried and cried again 
C          Bb7M          Am7           D9 
But today, but today, but today, I don't know why 
G                    C     Bb  C  C# 
I feel a little more blue than then 
G                    C     Bb  C  G 
I feel a little more blue than then 
G                    C     Bb  C  C# 
I feel a little more blue than then 
                   C     Bb  C   G 
I feel a little more blue than then 
 
C  C/B  Bbm6  
One night I saw a mexican film 
G  D/F#  F7M 
These twin brothers tryed to kill each other 
C  C/B  Bbm6  
She opened her arms and got two bullets 
G  D/F#  F7M 
And died sweetly without a sigh 
C          Bb7M          Am7           D9 
But tonight, but tonight, but tonight, I don't know why 
G                    C     Bb  C  C# 
I feel a little more blue than then 
G                    C     Bb  C  G 
I feel a little more blue than then 
G                    C     Bb  C  C# 
I feel a little more blue than then 
                   C     Bb  C   G 
I feel a little more blue than then 
 
C  C/B  Bbm6  
One day I went down to the underground but 
G  D/F#  F7M 
I missed the last train 
C  C/B  Bbm6  
And now that I'm just looking around 
G  D/F#  F7M 
I feel a little more blue than then 
C          Bb7M          Am7           D9 
Looking around, Look around, Look around, I don't know why 
G                    C     Bb  C  C# 
I feel a little more blue than then 
G                    C     Bb  C  G 
I feel a little more blue than then 
G                    C     Bb  C  C# 
I feel a little more blue than then 
                   C     Bb  C   G 
I feel a little more blue than then
