She wore [G]Blue [Bm7]Velvet [Bm7] [Bbm7] [Am]Bluer than [D7]velvet was the [G]night [E7] [Am]Softer than satin was the [D7]light From the [G]stars [D7]

[D7]She wore [G]blue [Bm7]velvet [Bm7] [Bbm7] [Am]Bluer than [D7]velvet were her [G]eyes [E7] [Am]Warmer than May her tender [D7]sighs Love was [Dm7]ours [G7]

[Cmaj7]Ours a love I held [Cm7]tightly [Bm7]Feeling the [Em7]rapture [G7]grow [Cmaj7]Like a flame burning [Cm7]brightly [Bm7]But when she [A#]left [Am]gone was the [D7]glow of

[G]Blue [Bm7]Velvet [Bm7] [Bbm7]

[Am]But in my [D7]heart there’ll always [G]be [E7] [Am]Precious and warm, A memo[D7]ry through the [Dm7]years [G7] And I [Cmaj7]still can see Blue [D7]Velvet through my [G6]tears
