[Intro]
B C7
C7 C#7
[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
