BLUESETTE
Music : Norman Gimbel
Lyrics : Jean 'Toots' Thielmans
Key:G

-5    6  -6*   7  -7  -8   8     6    -5*
Poor lit-tle, sad lit-tle blue Blues-ette
-8    -5   5*   -7    5   -4
Don’t you cry, don't you fret,
7   -4   5  -5   -5*-6  7   -9*   -9  8
You can bet one luck-y day you'll wak-en,
-6   -9    8    -7* -6  8*  8 -7*
And your blues will be for-sak-en,
-5*  -6  7 7*   -7* 8   -9   8    -8   -7   -5
One luck-y day love-ly love will come your way.
-5    6  -6*      7  -7  -8   8     6    -5*
Long as there-s love in your heart to share,
-8    -5   5*   -7     5   -4
Dear Blues-ette don't des-pair
7    -4   5   -5  -5* -6   7   -9*   -9  
Some blue boy is long-ing just like you,
8   -6 -9  8   -7* -6 8*  8  -7*
To find a some-one to be true to,
-5*  -6  7   7*  -7*  8   -9   8 -8 -7   -5
Two lov-ing arms you can nest-le in to stay.
7    -7   -8    -9
Get set, Blues-ette,
8     -8  -7  7  -6*
True love is com-ing,
6     -6* 7   -8    -7   7   -6  6  -5
Your lone-ly heart soon will be hum-ming. 

Hum

Pret-ty lit-tle Blues-ette, 
8    8  8  8  -8   -7
Mus-n't be a mourn-er,
-8   -8   -8    -8  -7   7
Have you heard the news yet,
-7   -7    -7  -7   7  -6
Love is 'round the cor-ner.
6      -6    -6*  7   -7
Love wrapped in rain-bows 
-8   8    8*   -9  -9*  -9
and tied with pink rib-bon 
8   -6    7   -7    -7*   -8
To make your next spring-time 
8     8*   -9  -9*   10  -9*    
Your gold wed-ding ring time.
8*  8   -7*  7*    -7*   8   -9
So dry your eyes. Don’t-cha pout,
8     -8   7*    -6* 6  -5    -5
Don’t-cha fret, good-y good times
-5  -6   -5    5    -5
Are com-ing, Blues-ette.
-5    6   -6*    7   -7 -8    8    6    -5*
Long as there’s love in your heart to share,
-8    -5    5*   -7    5   -4
Dear Blues-ette don’t des-pair.
7     -4   4  -5 -5*  -6   7    -9* -9
Some blue boy is long-ing just like you,
8   -6  -9 8   -7* -6 -9* 8  -7*
To find a some-one to be true to.
-5*  -6  7 7*  -7*   8  -9
One luck-y day love-ly love
8     -8   -7   10
Will come your way.
-9     8 -8 -9  8    -8  7   6  7
That mag-ic day may just be to-day
