G B9 Cm7/5- G When there's a yellow moon above me, G B9 Ami7 D7 They say that moon beams I should view; G Cmi G G6 Cm7/5- But moon beams, being gold, are something I can't behold, G Ami7 D7 G 'Cause I was born to be blue. Ami7 D7 Ami7 D7 When I met you, the world was bright and sunny; Ami7 D9 D7 G When you left, the curtain fell. E7 A7 E7 A7 I want to laugh, but nothing strikes me funny; A7 Ami7 D9 Ami7 D7 Now my world's a faded pastel. G B9 Cm7/5- G Well, I guess I'm luck - i - er than some folks -- G B9 Ami7 D7 I've known the thrill of loving you, G Cmi G G6 Cm7/5- And that alone is more than I was created for G Ami7 D7 G 'Cause I was born to be blue.
