1st verse 
E    B          A 
They met upon a blue moon 
E        B           A 
And they parted on a cloudy day 
E         B              A 
They were so in love and out of school 
D          A        B7 
But he was goin' so far, far away 
 
1st chorus 
         E       B       A 
She said I'll be true to you 
E    B                A 
Even though you don't want me to 
    E       B        A 
And I'll be blue for you 
E    B                      A

2nd verse 
Well the year's drifted by them, 
As we all know they can

She was on a down-hill slide, and he was just slidin' in 
 
3rd verse 
As he looked into her eyes that night, 
He didn't realize 
The only real love in his life 
Was passin' by 
When he turned and left her there his words "goodbye" 
He heard her calling out to him, and as he walked she cried, 
 
2nd chorus 
I've been true to you 
Seems like speakin' to me is the least that you could do 
And I've been blue for you 
even though you've asked me not to 
 
4th verse 
She'd been drinkin way too hard one night  
She'd been drinkin way too long 
Alone and pale in a cheap hotel 
She died there in the dawn 
Kneelin' by her grave, oh so late and oh so wrong 
He longed to hold her close again, cryin' on and on 
 
3rd chorus 
He cried I''ll be true to you 
After all that I have put you through 
And I'll be blue for you  
Though you never even asked me to
