Mel Tormé - Born To Be Blue Chords

G               Bb9     Cm7-5     G
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.
