I’ll Chase the Blues Away Lyrics

[Instrumental]

[Verse 1]
I'll chase the blues away
I'll laugh and sing all day
I've found my lover, someone who'll be true

The blue birds in a tree
Will sing their song to me
For they'll discover I'm no longer blue

[Bridge]
I've travelled far
In search of someone like you
For what you are
Is the dream that I've prayed would soon come true

[Verse 2]
I'll chase the blues away
I'll print some news today
I've found my lover, someone who'll be true

[Instrumental]

  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
