 Cm7                   Dm7-5      G7            
 Melancholy mood          forever haunts me,
 Cm7                           
 Steals upon me in the night,
 Dm7-5      G7          
    Forever taunts me.
 Cmaj7                          
 Oh, what a lonely soul am I,
 Dm7               G7         
 Stranded high and dry  by a
 Cm7                     Ab7   G7   
 Melancholy mood.

[Verse]
 Cm7                  Dm7-5       G7        
 Gone is every joy       and inspiration
 Cm7                              
 Tears are all I have to show
 Dm7-5      G7        
    No consolation.
 Cmaj7                              
 All I can see is grief and gloom
 Dm7        .      G7        
 Till the crack of doom, oh
 Cm7                 Ab7 G7 Cm7    
 Melancholy mood.

[MIDDLE 8]
 Fm7                    
 Deep in the night     I
 Fm7            Bb7        
 Search for a trace    of a
 Ebmaj7           Ebmaj7               
 Lingering kiss,    a warm embrace, but
 Fm7                  
 Love is a whimsy, as
 Fm7                    
 Flimsy as lace, and my
 Am7-5           Ab7        G7      
 Arms embrace       an empty space.

[Verse]
 Cm7              Dm7-5          G7         
 Melancholy mood,    why must you blind me,
 Cmaj7                           
 Pity me and break the chains
 Dm7                G7        
    The chains that bind me
 Cmaj7                                
 Won't you release me, set me free
 Dm7                G7      
 Bring him back to me,  oh
 Cm7                 Cm7   C7#9   
 Melancholy mood?
