A#      Dm 
She wore blue velvet  
Gm      F       Bb 
Bluer than velvet was the night  
Cm                F 
Softer than satin was the light  
              Bb 
From the stars  
 
A#      Dm 
She wore blue velvet  
Gm      F       Bb 
Bluer than velvet were her eyes  
Cm                F 
Warmer than May her tender sighs  
               Fm 
Love was ours  
 
Bb               Gm 
Ours, the love I held tightly  
F                Fm 
Feeling the rapture grow  
Bb               Gm 
Like a flame burning brightly  
F 
But when she left  
Gm      A#      Dm 
Gone was the glow of blue velvet  
Gm      F       Bb 
*But in my heart there'll always be  
Cm                 F     
Precious and warm the memory  
            Fm 
Through the years  
Bb                Fm 
And I still can see blue velvet  
F       Bb 
Through my tears  
 
A#      Dm 
She wore blue velvet
