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

[CHORUS 2]
Em  F#      B
  I will be blue
           D     G       Em
  Like the reign of mastodon 
           D       G        Em
  Like the islands of Old Lyons
          F#
  I’ll be blue,

  I’ll be blue
