Invitation To The Blues

AM7 D9   E7/6 AM7        DM7   Dm6  AM7     D9
My  heart was all dressed up to go dancing,

E7/6      F#7 Gdim  F#7    C#m7-5 F#7
 I had a brand new shine on  my  views;

     D9       Dm6           AM7      C#m7-5 F#7
The roses you sent for, the line that  I    went for,

     D9    Bm7-5      E7/6      Cdim     AM7
Was just an  in - vi - ta - tion to the blues.


     D9   AM7        DM7     Dm6  AM7          D9
The very thought of love was en - tran - cing,

  E7/6   F#7 Gdim F#7    C#m7-5 F#7
I figured I  had  nothing  to  lose;

     D9        Dm6          AM7  C#m7-5   F#7
Your smile so elusive, your kiss    so  exclusive,

     D9    Bm7-5     E7/6      Cdim     AM7  Fdim  AM7
Was just an in - vi - ta - tion to the blues.


C#7       E7-9   D9              E7/9
I went to town, priced a wedding gown,

        D9         E7  C#7     Fdim
Put my little red book on the shelf,

 D9      E7           Cdim     E7/6
Hired a hall, got the band and all,

     B7      D9      Bm7-5 E7/6    E7
And marched down the aisle  by  myself.

     D9     AM7     DM7 Dm6      AM7          D9
I guess you can't depend on ro - man - cing;

  E7/6        F#7  Gdim  F#7    C#m7-5 F#7
It puts your heart right down in your shoes.

    D9        Dm6         AM7  C#m7-5     F#7
Instead of a wedding for which    I  was heading,

  D9    Bm7-5     E7/6      Cdim     AM7  Fdim  AM7
I got an in - vi - ta - tion to the blues.
