Biography:
Billie Holiday (Eleanora Fagan Gough, Philadelphia, PA, April 7, 1915 – New York City, NY, July 17, 1959) was an American jazz singer and songwriter.
Nicknamed Lady Day by her loyal friend and musical partner Lester Young, Holiday was a highly original influence on jazz and pop singing. Her vocal style, strongly inspired by jazz instrumentalists, pioneered a new way of manipulating phrasing and tempo. Above all, she was admired for her deeply personal and intimate approach to singing.

It's that ole devil called love again
F#7 C#m7(b5) G° F#7
Gets behind me and keeps giving me that shock again
Bm Bm7/E Dm6 E7/6
Puttin' rain in my eyes, tears in my dreams
A6 F#m
And rocks in my heart

But I still have that rain, still have those tears

Suppose I didn't stay -- ran away, wouldn't play.

The devil -- what a potion he would brew!

When he sings that sorry song, I just gotta tag a - long
D9 E7 Bm7(b5) A
With that ole devil called love.
