Some folks were meant to live in clover
   G      Bb9       Am7  D7
But they are such a chosen few 
   G         Cm      G         G6   Cm5-/7
And clover, being green, is something I've never seen
    G    Cm7       D9    D7
'Cause I was born to be blue
  G       Bb9   Cm5-/7  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     Cm5-/7
But moon beams, being gold, are something I can't behold

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     Cm5-/7     G
Well, I guess I'm luckier   than some folks  
G         Bb9             Am7   D7
I've known the thrill of loving you 
  G          Cm     G      G6   Cm5-/7
And that alone is more than I was created for 
    G    Am7    D7   G
