Why So Blue Chords

(ver. 1)
Paul Mccartney
[Intro]
    Am7       A4    G        G *  G4 G
||:  /  /  /  /  |  /  /  /__/    /__/  :|| [x2]


[Verse 1]
  Am7                   A4   Am7     G            G4 G
Staring from a card - board castle, down and out,
Am7                        A4    Am7       G        D/F#    Em
One of life's young stu - dents finds out what it's all a - bout,
 Am7                  A4 Am7     D             D4 D
Paper flutters, ang - ry taxi drivers shout!


[Verse 2]
   Am7       A4   G        G *  G4 G
|  /  /  /  /  |  /  /  /__/    /__/  |

Am7                 A4  Am7      G           G4 G
From the pages of a pa - per, candles shine,
Am7                 A4  Am7  G      D/F#     Em
On a perfect table laid for two who love to dine,
Am7                   A4   Am7    D            D4 D
They suggest a highly re - com - mended wine,
Am7                      D
Once again the same old line!


[Chorus]
       Cm     Cm7    Cm6      Cm7        D      D4  D
Why so sad, ...my ...fine ...young--- friend?
       Gm     G
Why so blue?


[Verse 3]
 Am7                   A4  Am7   G          G4 G
Weary carriage horses stand in single file,
 Am7                 A4  Am7    G       D/F#    Em
Someone at a crowded bus stop wears a friendly smile,
 Am7                           A4   Am7  D           D4 D
Touching nerves that no one's heard from in a while,
  Am7            A4  Am7  D    D4  D
Papers from the same old file!


[Chorus]
       Cm     Cm7    Cm6      Cm7        D      D4  D
Why so sad, ...my ...fine ...young--- friend?
       Gm     G
Why so blue?


[Bridge]
  Eb                            Bb
Sometimes, when eyes meet, you know,
     Eb                Bb
They have to meet a - gain,
   Eb                  Dm                      Cm
Sometimes, birds of a feather got to fly to - gether, oh!


[Verse 4]
Bm7                          A              A4 A  Asus2
From a dingy attic window, candles shine...
Bm7                               A       E      F#m
  ...On a perfect table laid for two who love to dine,
    Bm7                                  E           E4 E
And now, they drink the highly recom - mended wine,
Bm7                        E
Free at last, and feeling fine!


[Verse 5]
        Dm                      Dm7
I'm so glad... (I am so glad!)  my... (It's not so bad!)
   Dm6                          Dm7
...Fine... (It's not the end!) young... (I am the friend!)
     E             E4     E           Am     A4 Am
...Friend------,             glad for you!
       (I am the friend!)


[Verse 6]
        Dm                      Dm7
I'm so glad... (I'd be so sad!) my... (It's not so bad!)
   Dm6                          Dm7
...Fine... (It's not the end!) young... (I am the friend!)
     E             E4     E           Am     A4 Am
...Friend------,             glad for you!
       (I am the friend!)


[Coda]
Dm                     Am   A4 Am
    You used to be so blue,
Dm                     Am   A4 Am   Dm            Am
    You used to be so blue!         Why--- so--- blue---?
