Words & Music by Milton Ager, Benny Davis & Lester Santly, 1921Recorded by Judy Garland, 1940 (#3)
From the 1940 film "Andy Hardy Meets Debutante"
A D9 Bm7-5 A
I woke up this morning and the sun was shining but I didn't see it;
A D9 Bm7-5 A A7
I think I drank my orange juice but I don't know, I wouldn't guarantee it.
D Dm Dm7 A
Wore my yellow dress or was it blue, oh what's the use, I don't remember.
Gdim Bm7 E7/6
Is it Monday, is it Tuesday is it June or is it still, December?
A Bm7-5
Sat beside my window, watch the couples strolling by,
C#m7-5 F#7
Felt so sorry for myself, I couldn't even cry;
D Dm7 A B7
Finally I pulled the shade -- I couldn't stand the gaff
D Cdim E7
So I sat down and wrote my ep - i - taph.
Bm7-5 A D9 A F#m7 B7 Bm7 E7 E7-9 A
I'm no - bod - y's ba - by -- I won - der why?
A7 Bm7-5 Cdim F#7 Bm Bm7
Each night and day I pray the Lord up above,
B7 Bm7-5 E7
Please send me down some - bod - y to love.
A D9 A F#m7 B7 Bm7-5 E E7 C#7
But no - bod - y wants me -- I'm blue some - how.
F#7 C#7 D9 Dm6 A C#m7-5 F#7
Won't some - one hear my plea and take a chance with me?
Bm Bm7/E Bm7-5 E7 A Edim Dm7 E7
I'm no - bod - y's ba - by now.
(Instrumental Interlude: first three lines of verse)
A D9 A F#m7 B7 Bm7-5 E E7 C#7
No - bod - y wants me -- I'm blue some - how.
F#7 C#7 D9 Dm6 A C#m7-5 F#7
Won't some - one hear my plea and take a chance with me?
D B7
There's no de - ny - in', I'm cry - in',
A G#7 F#7
I'm lone - some on my own - some --
D Fdim Bm7-5 E E7/6 E7 A6
I don't mean may - be, I'm no - bod - y's ba - by.
This is an admittedly-abbreviated version -- the recording upon which it is based has a number of key and tempo changes which I've omitted here.
