Born To Be Blue

Written by Bob Wells and Mel Tormé

	  		

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  
And clover, being green 
             G6   Cm5-/7 
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        
But moon beams, being gold 
  G6        Cm5-/7 
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
