| They m | et upon a bl | ue moon |
| B | A | E | |
| And they | parted on a cl | oudy day |
| B | A | D | |
| They were s | o in love | and out of school |
| A | B7 | |
| But he was g | oin' so f | ar far away |
| 1st chorus |
| E | B | A | E | |
| She said I | 'll be tr | ue to y | ou |
| B | A | |
| even tho | ugh you don't w | ant me to |
| E | B | A | E | |
| And I | 'll be b | lue for y | ou |

| Even th | ough you've asked me n | ot to |
| 2nd verse |
| Well the year's drifted by them, |
| As we all know they can |
| He found other women |
| But she refused other men |
| But as fate would have it, they met again |
| She was on a down-hill slide, and he was just slidin' in |
| 3rd verse |
| As he looked into her eyes that night, |
| He didn't realize |
| The only real love in his life |
| Was passin' by |
| When he turned and left her there his words "goodbye" |
| He heard her calling out to him, and as he walked she cried, |
| 2nd chorus |
| I've been true to you |
| Seems like speakin' to me is the least that you could do |
| And I've been blue for you |
| even though you've asked me not to |
| 4th verse |
| She'd been drinkin way too hard one night |
| She'd been drinkin way too long |
| Alone and pale in a cheap hotel |
| She died there in the dawn |
| Kneelin' by her grave, oh so late and oh so wrong |
| He longed to hold her close again, cryin' on and on |
| 3rd chorus |
| He cried I''ll be true to you |
| After all that I have put you through |
| And I'll be blue for you |
| Though you never even asked me to |
