Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][G][D][A][G]
[D]

[Verse 1]
They [A]met upon
a blue [G]moon[D]
And they par[A]ted [G]on a cloudy
[D]day
They were so [A]in [G]love and out of school
[C]But he was[G] goin' so far[A], far away

[Verse 2]
[A]
She said: [D]"I'll be [A]true to [G]you[D]
Even [A]though you don't [G]want me to
And [D]I'll be [A]blue for [G]you[D]
Even [A]though you've
asked [G]me not to"

[Verse 3]
Well the [D]year's drifted by [A]them,
as [G]we all know they can
[D]He found other wo [A]men,
but she re[G]fused other [D]men
But as [A]fate would have [G]it, they met again
[C]She was on a d[G]own- hill slide,
and [A]he was just slidin' in

[Verse 4]
As he [D]looked into her [A]eyes that night,
[G]he never realized
The [D]only real love [A]in his life
[G]was passin' by[D]
When [A]he turned and left [G]her there,
his words, "Goodbye"
He [C]heard her calling [G]out to him,
and [A]as he walked, she cried

[Verse 5]
[A]"I've [D]been tru[A]e to you[G]
[D]Seems like spe[A]akin' to me is
[G]the least that you could do
And [D]I've been [A]blue for [G]you[D]
Even [A]though you've
asked [G]me not to"

[Verse 6]
She'd been [D]drinkin way
[A]too hard one night
She'd been [G]drinkin way too long
[D]Alone and pale [A]in a cheap hotel,
she [G]died there in the dawn
[D]Kneelin' by her[A] grave,
oh so [Bm]late and [G]oh so wrong
He [C]longed to hold [G]her close again,
[A]cryin' on and on
[Em]

[Verse 7]
[A]
He cried, [D]"I'll be [A]true [G]to you[D]
After [A]all that I have put [G]you [D]through
And I'll be [A]blue [G]for [D]you
Though [A]you never even [G]asked me to"

[Outro 1]
[G]
