      C    G7         F
They met upon a blue moon

C        G7          F
And they parted on a cloudy day

C         G7             F
They were so in love and out of school

A#7        F        G7
But he was going so far far away


         C       G7      F
She said I'll be true to you

C    G7               F
Even though you don't want me to

    C       G7       F
And I'll be blue for you

C    G7                     F
Even though you've asked me not to


         C              G7            F
Well the year's drifted by them as we all know they can 

C              G7            F
He found other women but she refused other men

C           G7            F
But as fate would have it they met again

A#7          F                   G7
She was on a down-hill slide and he was just sliding in


      C               G7                 F
As he looked into her eyes that night he never realized

C                  G7          F
The only real love in his life was passing by

C       G7                  F
When he turned and left her there his words goodbye

A#7                  F              G7
He heard her calling out to him and as he walked she cried


C         G7      F
I've been true to you

C          G7                    F
Seems like speaking to me is the least that you could do

    C         G7       F
And I've been blue for you

C    G7                     F
Even though you've asked me not to


           C
She'd been drinking way too hard one night 

      G7                    F
She'd been drinking way too long 

C                   G7              F
Alone and pale in a cheap hotel she died there in the dawn

C               G7          F
Kneeling by her grave oh so late and oh so wrong

A#7                   F           G7
He longed to hold her close again crying on and on


         C    G7         F
He cried I'll be true to you

C     G7              F
After all that I have put you through

C        G7          F
And I'll be blue for you 

C      G7                   F
Though you never even asked me to
