[C#m]
[E] [B] [C#m] [A]
[E] They met up on [A] the blue moon
[E] [D#m] Then they parted [C#m] on a cloudy day
[E] They were [D#m] so in love [C#m] and out of school
[D] But he [A] was going
[B] so far far away
She [E] said [B] To [A] you
[E] [B] Even though you [A] don't want me to
[E] [B] I'll be blue [A] for you
[E] [B] Even though you've [A] asked me not to
[E] Well the years [D#] drifted by then [A] as we all know they can
[E] He [B] found other women, [A] but she refused other man
[E] [B] But as fate would [A] have it they met again
[D] She was [A] on a downhill [B] slide.
He would just slide me
[E] As he looked [B] into her eyes that [A] night he never realized
[E] the only [B] real love in his [A] life
Passing by
[E] When [B] he turned and [A] left her there his words
Goodbye, [D] you heard a [A] calling out to him [B] and as he walked she cried
I've [E] [B] been true [A] to you
[E] [B] Seem like speaking to me [A] is the least that you could do
[E] and [B] I've been blue
[A] for you
[E] Even [B] though you've asked [A] me not to
She [E] had been drinking way [G#m] too hard one night.
She [C#m] had been drinking way [A] too long
[E] Alone and pale [G#m] in a cheap hotel.
[C#m] She died there in the dawn
[E] Kneeling by [D#m] her grave oh so [C#m] late and oh so wrong
[D] He longed to hold her [A] close again
[B] Crying on [F#m] [B] he [E] cried
[B] [A] [E] After [B] all that I [A] have put you through
[E] I'll be [B] blue [A] for you
[E] Though you [B] never even [A] asked me to
[A] [E]
