Some folks were meant to live in clover,
[G] [Bb9] [Am7] [D7]
But they are such a chosen few;
[G] [Cm] [G] [G6] [Cm7-5]
And clover, being green, is something I've never seen,
[G] [Cm7] [D9] [D7]
'Cause I was born to be blue.
[G] [Bb9] [Cm7-5] [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] [Cm7-5]
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] [Cm7-5] [G]
Well, I guess I'm luck - i - er than some folks --
[G] [Bb9] [Am7] [D7]
I've known the thrill of loving you,
[G] [Cm] [G] [G6] [Cm7-5]
And that alone is more than I was created for
[G] [Am7] [D7] [G]
'Cause I was born to be blue.
