[Verse]

*Em
  You stared a while, 
*Bm
  And said to me
*C  
  Give me a smile, 
*G               F#     Em 
  and aren’t you having fun?
*Em 
  Stood in my path, 
*Bm 
  Down in the street
*C 
  I wouldn’t laugh, 
*G        F#      Em
  And you look so stoned
  
[Pre-Chorus]

 C G            C G 
    I think you, 
 C G            C G   
    Had no clue

[Chorus]

Em  F#      Bm
  I will be blue
        D      G        Em
  Like a hermit in it’s shell
      D      G             Bm
  Like Jesus Christ on the hill
           F#            Bm   A
  I’ll be blue, I’ll be blue


[SOLO] Frank plays the INTRO chords with single notes in between. His
       part practically is a solo itself. 


[VERSE 2]
*Em 
  We had a drink, 
*Bm
  I sang some songs
 C
  You had to think,
*G         F#               Em 
  I didn’t hold my place at all
*Em
  Please pardon me,
*Bm
  For these my lungs (?)
*C
  And I will leave 
        G             F#         Em
  But I wont put your party face on

[PRE-CHORUS]
 C G             C G  C G       C G
    I’ll be blue,  I---’ll Be Blue

[CHORUS 2]
Em  F#      Bm
  I will be blue
           D     G       Em
  Like the reign of mastodon (?)
           D       G        Bm
  Like the islands of o_____on (?)  
          F#
  I’ll be blue, 
          Bm   A
  I’ll be blue

END: * Em * Bm * C * G  F#  Em
