1. When you're leaving me, if I let you go,

C G

take away my heart as I won't need it anymore.

Take away my nights, all my lonely nights,

C G C - C7

when you're ready to go, just leave me the blue tango.

F C

Like a blue tango, as your eyes are blue,

G G7 C

when you're ready to go, remember how much I loved you,

C7

and let me go.

F C

Like a blue tango, I'll remember you,

G G7 C

when you're ready to go, just leave me with the blue tango.

2. I was loving you more than you will know,

C G

‘cause I needed you, my darling, you know it's true.

But I don't know why I don't even cry,

C G C - C7

and my sister sorrow will teach me the blue tango. + F - C

G G7 C

+ When you're ready to go, remember to catch my shadow,

in my loneliness I'll always have the blue tango.
