[Verse]
 
Em
 You stared a while, 
Bm
 And said to me
Cmaj7
 Give me a smile, 
G               G/F#   Em
 and aren’t you having fun?
Em
 Stood in my path, 
Bm
 Down in the street
Cmaj7
 I wouldn’t laugh, 
G        G/F#    Em
 And you look so stunned
 
[Pre-Chorus]
 
 Cmaj7  G
          I think you, 
 Cmaj7  G             Cmaj7  G   Cmaj7  G
          Had no clue
 
[Chorus]
 
Em F#      B
 I will be blue
       D      G        Em
 Like a hermit in it’s shell
      D      G             Em
 Like Jesus Christ on the hill
         F#            B    A
 I’ll be blue, I’ll be blue

[VERSE 2]
Em
 We had a drink, 
Bm
 I sang some songs
Cmaj7
 You had to think,
G         G/F#             Em
 I didn’t hold my place at all
Em
 Please pardon me,
Bm
 For these my wrongs 
Cmaj7
 And I will leave 
       G             G/F#       Em
 But I wont put your party face on
 
[PRE-CHORUS]
Cmaj7 G            Cmaj7  G

    Cmaj7 G             Cmaj7  G
   I’----ll will be blue

  I’ll be blue
