^GSome folks were ^Bb9meant to^Cm7-5 live in c^Glover, But t^Ghey are s^Bb9uch a chosen ^Am7few; ^D7

And cl^Gover, being g^Cmreen, is ^Gsomething I've ^G6never^Cm7-5 seen, 'Cause ^GI was ^Cm7born to be b^D9lue. ^D7

When t^Ghere's a y^Bb9ellow ^Cm7-5moon ab^Gove me, They ^Gsay that ^Bb9moon beams I should v^Am7iew; ^D7

But m^Goon beams, being ^Cmgold, are s^Gomething^G6 I can't b^Cm7-5ehold, 'Cause ^GI was ^Am7born to ^D7be bl^Gue.

^Am7When I met ^D7you, the ^Am7world was bright and s^D7unny; ^Am7When you l^D9eft, the ^D7curtain f^Gell.

^E7I want to la^A7ugh, but nothing ^E7strikes me ^A7funny; ^A7Now my world's a ^Am7faded past^D9el.^{Am7 D7}

Well, I g^Guess I'm l^Bb9uck - i ^Cm7-5- er than s^Gome folks -- I^G've known the t^Bb9hrill of loving ^Am7you, ^D7

And ^Gthat alone is m^Cmore than ^GI was cr^G6eated ^Cm7-5for 'Cause ^GI was ^Am7born to ^D7be b^Glue.
