Here are the lyrics to the song you looked for (Blues in the Night) with guitar symbols for the chords. You may be able to transpose the guitar chords to keyboard chords. I hope this will help you.

Blues in the Night
Words & Music by Johnny Mercer & Harold Arlen, 1941 Recorded by Rosemary Clooney, 1952 (#17) Written for a film called Hot Nocturne, this song became so popular that the movie was re-titled Blues in the Night
[In the lyrics below, written for a man's viewpoint, the words in parenthesis ( ) are substitutes to make the lyrics from a woman's viewpoint)]
A My mama done tol' me, when I was in kneepants (pigtails),
A7 My mama done tol' me, "Son ("Hon),
D7 A woman'll (man will just) sweet talk, and give ya the big eye,
B7 E7 A But when the sweet talkin's done,
E7 Am7 E7 A woman's (man is) a two-face, a worrisome thing who'll leave ya t' sing
A D9 A The blues in the night."
Refrain:
A7 E7 Am7 D7 Now the rain's a-fallin', hear the train a-callin',
A "Whoo-ee." (My mama done tol' me,)
D9 Dm6 E7 Hear that lonesome whistle blowin' 'cross the trestle,
A "Whoo-ee." (My mama done tol' me.)
E7 A whoo-ee-duh whoo-ee,
B7 E7 A D9 A Ol' clickety clack's a-echoin' back the blues in the night.
D9 Dm6 The evening breeze'll start the trees to cryin'
E7 C7 B+ F#7-5 Am6 B7 E7 Dm6 E7 And the moon'll hide it's light when you get the blues in the night;
D9 Dm6 E7 C7 B+ Take my word, the mockingbird'll sing the saddest kind of song,
F#m7-5 Am6 B7 E7 Dm6 Gm6 E7 He knows things are wrong, and he's right.
From Natchez to Mobile, from Memphis to Saint Joe, Wherever the four winds blow; I've been in some big towns and heard me some big talk, But there is one thing I know: A woman's (man is) a two-face, a worrisome thing who'll leave ya t' sing The blues in the night.
Refrain:
Coda: A A7 B7 E7 Oooo - oooo - oooo, oooo - oooo - oooo,
B7 E7sus4 A My mama was right, there's blues in the night.
