Blue Velvet
Words & Music by Bernie Wayne & Lee Morris
Recorded by Bobby Vinton, 1963 (#1 for 3 weeks)
D9 D7 G G/F# Bm Bm7 Bbm7 Am7
She wore blue velvet
D9 D7 G Em7
Bluer than velvet was the night
C Cm D9 D7 Am7 G Edim Am7
Softer than satin was the light from the stars
D9 D7 G G/F# Bm Bm7 Bbm7 Am7
She wore blue velvet
D9 D7 G Em7
Bluer than velvet were her eyes
C Cm D9 D7 Am7 D7 Dm7 G7
Warmer than May her tender sighs -- love was ours
Bridge:
CM7 Cm7 Cm7-5 G9 G G6
Ours a love I held tightly, feeling the rapture grow
CM7 Cm7 Cm7-5
Like a flame burning brightly
Bm7 Gdim Am7 D9
But when she left, gone was the glow
D7 G G/F# Bm Bm7 Bbm7 Am7
Of blue velvet,
D9 D7 G Em7
But in my heart there'll always be
C Cm D9 D7 Am7 Dm7 G9
Precious and warm, a memory through the years
G G9 CM7 Am7 Cm7 Cdim D7 G Edim Am7 Cm7 G6
And I still can see blue velvet through my tears.
