INTRO: E MajorE A augmentedA E MajorE BB E MajorE DbmDbm A augmentedA E MajorE

#1.
   Abm7Abm7    A augmentedA     DbmDbm      E MajorE
They met upon a blue moon.......and they parted
   DbmDbm    GbmGbm A augmentedA
on a cloudy day.
E MajorE        EbmEbm   DbmDbm      D MajorD
They were so in love and out of school..
      A augmentedA    BB     GbmGbm
but he was goin' so far, far away.

CHORUS:
BB  E MajorE       BB    D MajorD  A augmentedA  E MajorE  BB
She said, I'll be true to you.....even though
     A augmentedA
you don't want me to.
  E MajorE    BB    A augmentedA  E MajorE  BB
And I'll be blue for you, even though you've
     A augmentedA
asked me not to.

#2.
E MajorE            EbmEbm BB      A augmentedA
Well, the year's drifted by them, as we all

know they can.
E MajorE       Abm7Abm7    BB         A augmentedA
He found other women, but she refused other men.
E MajorE   EbmEbm    Abm7Abm7     A augmentedA
But as fate would have it, they met again..
D MajorD      A augmentedA        BB
she was on a down-hill slide, he was just slidin' in.

#3.
   E MajorE        BB          A augmentedA
As he looked into her eyes that night, he never
       E MajorE       BB        A augmentedA
realized..the only real love in his life was passin' by.
    E MajorE     BB        A augmentedA
When he turned and left her there, his words, goodbye.
  D MajorD         A augmentedA        BB
He heard her calling out to him, and as he walked,

she cried..

CHORUS:
E MajorE     BB    A augmentedA  E MajorE     BB
I've been true to you..seems like speakin' to me is
  A augmentedA
the least that you could do.
  E MajorE     BB    A augmentedA  E MajorE  BB
And I've been blue for you, even though you've asked me
A augmentedA
not to.

#4.
      E MajorE
She'd been drinkin' way too hard one night, she'd been
     DbmDbm
drinkin' way too long.
A augmentedA     E MajorE     BB      DbmDbm   DbDb
Alone and pale in a cheap hotel, she died there in the dawn.
E MajorE           D MajorD   DbmDbm    A augmentedA
Kneelin' by the grave, oh, so late, and oh, so wrong.
  D MajorD         A augmentedA      BB        GbmGbm BB
He longed to hold her close again, cryin' on and on.

OUTRO:
E MajorE         BB    A augmentedA  E MajorE   BB        A augmentedA
He cried, I'll be true to you..after all that I have put

you through.
  E MajorE    BB    A augmentedA  E MajorE     BB     A augmentedA
And I'll be blue for you, though you never even asked me to.

....E....
