	  		G               Bb9     Cm7/5-     G 
Some folks were meant to live in clover, 
 
     G        Bb9          Am7   D7 
But they are such a chosen few; 
 
      G            Cm       G              G6   Cm7/5- 
And clover, being green, is something I've never seen, 
 
       G     Cm7         D9     D7 
'Cause I was born to be blue. 
 
 
      G         Bb9   Cm7/5-  G 
When there's a yellow moon above me, 
 
     G        Bb9                  Am7   D7 
They say that moon beams I should view; 
 
     G                Cm         G       G6        Cm7/5- 
But moon beams, being gold, are something I can't behold, 
 
       G     Am7     D7   G 
'Cause I was born to be blue. 
 
 
 
Bridge: 
 
 
Am7        D7       Am7                   D7 
When I met you, the world was bright and sunny; 
 
Am7       D9       D7       G 
When you left, the curtain fell. 
 
E7          A7               E7         A7 
I want to laugh, but nothing strikes me funny; 
 
A7               Am7       D9 Am7 D7 
Now my world's a faded pastel. 
 
 
         G         Bb9     Cm7/5-      G 
Well, I guess I'm luck - i - er than some folks -- 
 
 G              Bb9             Am7   D7 
I've known the thrill of loving you, 
 
    G              Cm       G       G6    Cm7/5- 
And that alone is more than I was created for 
 
       G     Am7     D7  G 
'Cause I was born to be blue.
