Mr Blue by The Fleetwoods
Mr Blue
Capo II
Our guardian star lost all his glow
The day that I lost you
He lost all his glitter the day you said, no
And his silver turned to blue
Like him, I am doubtful that your love is true
But if you decide to call on me
A Em D
Ask for Mr. Blue
F#m G
I'm Mr. Blue (wah-a-wah-ooh)

When you say you love me (ah, Mr. Blue)

Hurting me through and through

I stay at home at night (I stay at home)
