    Harlem Nocturne
    Words & Music by Earle Hagen & Sid Robin, 1939
    Recorded by Mel Torme, 1963

    Em E9 Em B+ Em G Em G Em Am
    A noc - turne for the blues, played on a bro - ken heart string;
    Am A9 Am Am+7 C7 C B7 Cdim Em
    It's wail - ing out the news my ba - by is gone from me.

    Em E9 Em B+ Em G Em G Em Am
    Dark shad - ows in the rain, a tel - e - phone that won't ring;
    Am A9 Am Am+7 C7 C B7 Cdim Em Bm7-5 C7 Em
    Just mem - o - ries re - main of lovers that used to be.

    G Cdim Am7alt G G5 G6 Dm7 Cdim(IV) G G5 G6 Dm7


    I miss the laughs and the fun, my spot in the sun,
    Cdim(IV) G G5 G6 Dm7 Am7 G g-g#-a-bflat-b-d
    When I was the one one and on - ly;
    C7 Gm7 Fdim C7 Gm7
    The mu - sic and lights, those won - der - ful nights,
    D Am7 Bb D9 F Cdim D7
    The morn - ing mist, the time we kissed;
    G G5 G6 Dm7 Cdim(IV) G G5 G6 Dm7
    The laughs and the fun, my days in the sun,
    Cdim(IV) G G5 G6 Dm7 Am7 G g-g#-a-bflat-b-d
    They're o - ver and done and I'm lone - ly.
    C7 Gm7 C7 Gm7
    Don't ask me to hide the heart - break in - side --
    D Am7 Bb D9 G Bm7-5 F Cdim B7
    The gleam - ing spark is gone the light went dark.

    Em E9 Em B+ Em G Em G Em Am
    This noc - turne for the blues took all and left me noth - in',
    Am A9 Am Am+7 C7 C B7 Cdim Em
    Noth - in' but the blues til baby comes back to me.
