Verse 1
     G#m7       A         C#m            E          
They met upon a blue moon.......and they parted 
     C#m        F#m A
on a cloudy day.
E               D#m      C#m           D
They were so in love and out of school..
           A        B         F#m
but he was going so far, far away.

Chorus:
B   E             B       D   A   E    B
She said, I'll be true to you.....even though 
          A
you don't want me to.
    E       B        A    E    B
And I'll be blue for you, even though you've 
         A
asked me not to.

Verse 2
E                        D#m B           A
Well, the year's drifted by  them, as we all 

know they can.
E              G#m7       B                 A
He found other women, but she refused other men.
E      D#m        G#m7          A
But as fate would have it, they met again..
D            A                B
she was on a down-hill slide, he was just sliding in.

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

she cried..

Chorus:
E         B       A    E          B
I've been true to you..seems like speaking to me is 
    A
the least that you could do.
    E         B        A    E    B
And I've been blue for you, even though you've asked me 
A
not to.

Verse 4
           E
She'd been drinking way too hard one night, she'd been 
         C#m
drinking way too long.
A         E         B            C#m      C#
Alone and pale in a cheap hotel, she died there in the dawn.
E                      D      C#m       A
Kneeling by the grave, oh, so late, and oh, so wrong.
   D                  A            B                F#m B
He longed to hold her close again, crying on and on.

Outro:
E                 B       A    E     B               A
He cried, I'll be true to you..after all that I have put 

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