Subject: RE: Lyr/Chords Req: Meet Me Where They Play The Blues
Here's a version as sung by Jack Teagarden. I've put in (versions of) the most salient chords (I use others and more varied too, but the essence it there).
(Mary Coughlan has also recorded this and sings "If you're feeling gloomy, come around and screw me", IIRC.)
Mick
MEET ME WHERE THEY PLAY THE BLUES Steve Allen & Sammy Gallop
(Cmaj7)I got a heart that's broken (C9)hearted, how can I (Gm11)mend it? (C7b5) (F)I got a crying jag you (Dm7b5)started, how can I (Fm7)end it?(Fm6) But (Cmaj7)if you're feeling(C#dim7)gloomy, (Dm7)come a-(Cdim7)running (Ab9)to me, (Cmaj7)Meet me (Am7)where they (Dm7)play (Ab7#5)the (G7#5)blues.
People have said they've seen you dance in hide-away places People have said you find romance in other embraces But if your mood is dreamy, and you care to see me, Meet me where they play the blues.
(C7)Eyes that (Dm7)flirt with a (A7)tear, or (Dm7)come on round (A7)here And (Cmaj7)misery loves (Dm7b5)company, they (Cmaj7)say. Though they (D9)linger til (Am11)dawn(D7b5) while the (D9)trumpet wails (Am11)on(D7b5) (Dm7)Hoping you'll happen this (G7#5b9)way(G7#5).
I'm getting tired of sipping wine and watching it bubble How did our dreams get out of line and wind up in trouble But honey if you're learning, there's a flame still burning Meet me where they play the blues.
