Parker's Mood (Bless My Soul) Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Em]Bless my soul if my baby ain't done
[Am]gone [G]again.[Bb][Eb][Ab]
[G]My baby has gone [C]away,
and she took my love with her.
[G]My woman just lef[D]t tod[Gm]ay,
[G]and I'm surely gonna mis[D]s her[C#].[C]
I got up this morning feeling happy
because I thought the [G]day was
gonna be so sunny,
bright and gay all day for [D]me.[C]
[Bm]When I looked [E]around, lo and behold,
tell you what I [Am]found.
My baby's [E]closet was [Am]as
bare as it [D]could be,
and she had wrote a [G]note and left it for [D]me.
[A]Lord, I'm[D] so all[Em] alone.[D]
The note [G]said, daddy, daddy,
[C]I really hate to leave you, but I got to go, I don't know
if it's going to hurt you till
[G]you're a [D]old soul.
[G]Though I like you because you[D] treated me so fin[C#]e,
I [C]just couldn't keep [G]pretending, [A]feeling
the way I [Bm]do.
[C]And being untrue jus[C#]t
[G]wouldn't be fair to you.
[C]So I'm leaving,
[Bm]hope that you're not grieving too [E]much
I'll [Am]come back[G]
[C]If you [D]only say you'll help
me dear to [Bm]love you like [F#m]I should
I [G]promise I'll be good my sweet,
just [C]try to un[C#dim]derstand
[D]I kno[E]w you're for[Am] me and I t[D]hink we can be hap[G]py

[D]Hey,

[Verse 2]
[G]hey, hey, pretty baby
Oh, how [C]I wish you could hear [G]me
[Gm]I didn't understand
[G]Yes, I want to [C]be your man
And I took love so for granted,
[G]now I know [C]I was wrong.
Have mercy, baby, baby,
have mercy on me.
Lordy, help me find my
Claudia and [Gm]bring her home [C]to me,
because I [Bm]know she'll be as happy
as can be when [E]she finds
that [Am]I'm close to [C]no.
And if she comes back [Am]home, I'll
never let [D]her go again.
[G]I promise I[C] won't.
She's sweet as she can be,
and I am sure she
means [G]the whole world to [D]me.[A]
[Bm]Bles[Em]s my soul if my baby ain't back
[Am]home again.
[Bm][Bb][Eb][Ab]
