  			G               Bb9     Cm5-/7      G   
Some folks were meant to live in clover  
     G        Bb9          Am7   D7   
But they are such a chosen few   
      G            Cm       G              G6   Cm5-/7   
And clover, being green, is something I've never seen  
       G     Cm7         D9     D7   
'Cause I was born to be blue  
      G         Bb9   Cm5-/7   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        Cm5-/7   
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     Cm5-/7    G   
Well, I guess I'm luckier   than some folks    
G              Bb9             Am7   D7   
I've known the thrill of loving you   
    G              Cm       G       G6    Cm5-/7   
And that alone is more than I was created for   
       G     Am7     D7  G   
'Cause I was born to be blue
