Born To Be Blue

	  		

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
