[Intro 1]
[B][A][G][A]
[B]I hate to see,

[Verse 1]
[E]
that evenin' sun [B]go down![E][G]
[E]I hate to see,
that evenin' [G]sun [B]go down!
[F#]'Cause my baby,
[C#]gone and [F#]left this [B]town![D][E][C][G][C]
[B]Feelin' tomorrow,

[Verse 2]
[E]just like I feel [B]today,
If [E]I'm feelin' tomorrow,
just like I feel [B]today,
I'll [F#]pack my trunk,
and make my get- away!
[B][C][Bb][Cm][G]

[Verse 3]
[Db]
[Bbm]I went[C] to the Gypsy,
[Cb]to get my fortune to[C]ld,
[D]Yes, [Fm]I went [E]to the Gypsy,
to get my [G]fortune [C]told,
I [Db]asked [G]the Gypsy,
"What does the future [C]hold?"

[Verse 4]
Gypsy told [C]me,
[D]"Don't you [G]wear no [C]black!"
Hmmm! The [G]Gypsy [D]told [E]me,
"Don't [G]you wear no black!" (No[C]black!)
"Go [G]to St. [D]Louis,
[G]and you can win her back!"

[Verse 5]
[Db]St. Louis woma[Cm]n,
with her diamond [D]rings,

[Verse 6]
Pull[G]s this man around
by her apron [Cm]strings,[Ab]

[Verse 7]
If it [Cm]wasn't for powder and
for store- bought [D]hair,
[G]That gal I love wouldn't h've gone nowhere,
[Cm]nowh[C]ere![G]

[Verse 8]
I got the [C]St. [Am]Louis Blues, [D]just as blue [G]as [Am]I can[G] be,[C]
[Am][G][C]
[G]'Cause that gal's got a heart,
like a rock [Cm]cast in [Am]the sea,[F][G]
[Am]Or else she woul[C]dn't have
[G]gone so [D]far [G]from [Fm]me![Ab]

[Verse 9]
I love [Db]that gal [Ab]like a school
boy [Bbm]loves [Db]his [Bbm]pie,
[Db]Like a [Gb]Kentucky [Ebm]Colon [Db]el l[Cb]oves
[Gb]his mint an' his rye,[Db][Gb][Bbm]
I [Ebm]love that g[Ab]al, y[A]es [Ab]I love that gal,
Yes, I love that gal [D]. . .
[Ab]Until . . . the day . . . I [Db]die![Dbm]
[D][Db][Dbm][C#]
