                 A#   Dm Cm 
She wear blue velvet 
                 F            A# Cm 
bluer than velvet whas the night 
  Cm                    F                      A# F 
Softer than satin was the light from the stars 
                 A#   Dm C#m Cm 
She wear blue velvet 
           F            A# Dm C#m Cm 
bluer than velvet were her eyes 
  Cm                    F                       Fm A# 
Warmer than may her tender signs, love was ours 
D#                  D#m     Dm                   G#dim 
 Ours a love I held tightly, feeling the rapture grow 
D#                  D#m 
Like a flame burning brightly 
 Dm     C#m  Cm 
but when she left gone was the glow of 
A#      Dm C#m Cm 
Blue velvet 
           F            A# Dm C#m Cm 
but In my heart there'll always be 
  Cm                    F                       Fm A# 
precious and warming memories, through the years 
         D#                 D#m                 A#                   Dm Cm F Cm F A#     
And I still can see Blue Velvet through my tears
