[Verse 1]

B  C7               C7  C#7           B  C7      Gb7
        Some folks were meant to live in clover
F7            Eb9           Ab7 Ab6 Dm7 G7(#5)
 But they are such a chosen few
    Cm7           C#7
And clovers being green
   Cm7                  F9
Is something I've never seen
F7(#9)       D7        D7(#9)      G7(#5)  Bb
'cause I was born to be blue

[Verse 2]

B  C7               C7  C#7           B  C7      Gb7
When there's a yellow moon above me
F7            Eb9           Ab7 Ab6 Dm7 G7(#5)
They say there's moonbeams I should view
    Cm7           C#7
But moonbeams being gold
   Cm7                  F9
Are something I can't behold
F7(#9)       D7        D7(#9)      G7(#5)  Bb B  Cmaj7  C6
'cause I was born to be blue

[Chorus]

G#m9     C Db9    G
    When I met you
G#m7                 C   Db9
The world was bright and sunny
G  G#m7            C   Db9 Db7(b9) Gbmaj7
     When you left the cour-tain   fell
Gb6           C#m9
  I'd like to laugh
Gb7   B7       Bbm7  G#m7
  But nothing strikes me funny
Fm7              Bb7   Eb Dsus4 C G7(#5)
Now my world's a faded pastel

[Verse 3]

C7       C7  C#7      B   C7      Gb7
 I guess I'm luckier than some folks
     F7        Eb9              Ab7 Ab6 Dm7 G7(#5)
I've known the thrill of loving you
    Cm7           C#7
But that alone is more

   Cm7             F9
Than I was created for
F7(#9)       D7        D7(#9)      G7(#5)  Bb B
'cause I was born to be blue

[Chorus]

G#m9     C Db9    G
    When I met you
G#m7                 C   Db9
The world was bright and sunny
G  G#m7            C   Db9 Db7(b9) Gbmaj7
     When you left the cour-tain   fell
Gb6           C#m9
  I'd like to laugh
Gb7   B7       Bbm7  G#m7
  But nothing strikes me funny
Fm7              Bb7   Eb Dsus4 C G7(#5)
Now my world's a faded pastel

[Verse 3]

C7       C7  C#7      B   C7      Gb7
 I guess I'm luckier than some folks
     F7        Eb9              Ab7 Ab6 Dm7 G7(#5)
I've known the thrill of loving you
    Cm7           C#7
But that alone is more
   Cm7             F9
Than I was created for
F7(#9)       D7        D7(#9)      G7(#5)  Bb B
'cause I was born to be blue
