8 -7 7 7* 8* -7* 7* -7 8
Some folks were meant to live in clov-er
7 -6 -5* 7 8 7 -6 -5*
But they are such a chos-en few,
-5 -5* -5* -5 -5* 7 -6
And clov-er be-ing green
5 -5* -6 -5* -5 -5* 7 -6
Is some-thing I`ve nev-er seen
5 -5 5 -5 -4 5 7
Cause I was born to be blue

8 -7 7 7* 8* -7* 7* -7 8
When there`s a yel-low moon a-bove me
7 -6 -5* 7 8 7 -6 -5*
They say there`s moon-beams I should view,
-5 -5* -5* -5 -5* 7 -6
But moon-beams be-ing gold
5 -5* -6 -5* -5 -5* 7 -6
Are some-thing I can`t be-hold
5 -5 5 -5* 5 -5* 5
Cause I was born to be blue

-7* -7* 7* -7*
When I met you
7* -7* 8* -7* 7* -7* 8*
The world was bright and sun-ny
-7* 8* -7* 7* -7* 7* -6
When you left the cur-tain fell
5* 5 -5 7*
I`d like to laugh
-6* 6 -5* -6* 7* -7* -8
But noth-ing strikes me fun-ny
-7* -6 7 7*-7*-7* -7* 7 7
Now my world`s a fad-ed pas-tel, well

8 -7 7 7* 8*-7* 7* -7 8
I guess I`m luck-i-er than some folks
7 -6 -5* 7 8 7 -6 -5*
I`ve known the thrill of lov-in` you,
-5 -5* -5* -5 -5* 7 -6
And that a-lone is more
5 -5* 5 -5* -5 -5* 7-6
than I was cre-at-ed for
5 -5 5 -5* 5 -5* 5
Cause I was born to be blue

-7* -7* 7* -7*
When I met you
7* -7* 8* -7* 7* -7* 8*
The world was bright and sun-ny
-7* 8* -7* 7* -7* 7* -6
When you left the cur-tain fell
5* 5 -5 7*
I`d like to laugh
-6* 6 -5* -6* 7* -7* -8
But noth-ing strikes me fun-ny
-7* -6 7 7*-7*-7* -7* 7 7
Now my world`s a fad-ed pas-tel, well

8 -7 7 7* 8*-7* 7* -7 8
I guess I`m luck-i-er than some folks
7 -6 -5* 7 8 7 -6 -5*
I`ve known the thrill of lov-in` you,
-5 -5* -5* -5 -5* 7 -6
And that a-lone is more
5 -5* 5 -5* -5 -5* 7-6
than I was cre-at-ed for
5 -5 5 -5* 5 -5* 5
Cause I was born to be blue
