Chorus
A        E7              D7                  E
Oh dear, what can I do? Baby's in black and I'm feeling blue,
         A      D           A
Tell me, oh what can I do? 
Verse
A                      A7                 D
She thinks of him and so she dresses in black,
D                                 A        E                    A 
And though he'll never come back, she's dressed in black. 
Chorus
Verse
A                     A7                 D
I think of her, but she only thinks of him, 
D                        A         E                    A
And though it's only a whim, she thinks of him.

Oh how long will it take, 
D        E                        A
Till she sees the mistake she has made?
Chorus
      E7              D7                  E
Dear, what can I do? Baby's in black and I'm feeling blue,
         A      D           A
Tell me, oh what can I do?
