Verse 1
[C7] [Db7] [C7]
Some folks were meant to live in clover
[F7] [Eb7] [Abmaj7] [G7]
But they are such a chosen few
[Cm7] [Db7] [Cm7] [F7]
And clovers being green is something I've never seen
[Fm7] [Ab7] [Dm7] [G7]
'Cause I was born to be blue
Verse 2
[C7] [Db7] [C7]
When there's a yellow moon above me
[F7] [Eb7] [Abmaj7] [G7]
They say there's moonbeams I should view
[Cm7] [Db7] [Cm7] [F7]
But moonbeams being gold are something I can't behold
[Fm7] [Bb7] [G7] [C7]
'Cause I was born to be blue
Pre-Chorus
[Abm7] [Db7] [Abm7] [Db7]
When I met you, the world was bright and sunny
[Abm7] [Db7] [Gbmaj7]
When you left, the curtain fell
[Dbm7] [Gb7] [Bm7] [Abm7]
I'd like to laugh, but there's nothing that strikes me funny
[Fm7] [Bb7] [Ebmaj7]
Now my world's a faded pastel
Chorus
[D7] [G7] [C7] [Db7] [C7]
Well, I guess I'm luckier than some folks
[F7] [Eb7] [Abmaj7] [G7]
I've known the thrill of loving you
[Cm7] [Db7] [Cm7] [F7]
And that alone is more than I was created for
[Bb7] [G7] [C7]
'Cause I was born to be blue
