   (2x)
 You stared a while,
 And said to me
 Give me a smile,
  and aren’t you having fun?
 Stood in my path,
 Down in the street
 I wouldn’t laugh,
  And you look so stunned
   I think you,
   Had no clue
 I will  be blue
  Like a  hermit  in it’s shell
  Like Jesus  Christ  on the hill
  I’ll be blue,  I’ll be blue
 - verse chords
 We had a drink,
 I sang some songs
 You had to think,
  I didn’t hold my place at all
 Please pardon me,
 For these my wrongs
 And I will leave
 
  But I wont put your party face on
 I’ll be blue
  I’----ll  will be blue

  I’ll be blue
