"I'll be True to You"
Oak Ridge Boys

1st verse
E     B           A         E
They met upon a blue moon
         B             A         E
And they parted on a cloudy day
           B         A                 D
They were so in love and out of school
            A        B7
But he was goin' so far far away

1st chorus
          E        B      A     E
She said I'll be true to you
        B              A
even though you don't want me to
     E       B        A      E
And I'll be blue for you
       B                     A
Even though you've asked me not 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
