Intro: A# Dm C#m Cm F A# Dm Cm F 
 
A#   Dm Cm 
She wear blue velvet 
                 F            A# Cm 
Bluer than velvet whas the night. 
  Cm                    F                      A# F 
Softer than satin was the light from the stars 
A#   Dm C#m Cm 
She wear blue velvet 
           F            A# Dm C#m Cm 
Bluer than velvet were her eyes. 
  Cm                    F                       Fm   A# 
Warmer than may her tender signs, love was ours 
D#   D#m     Dm                   G#dim 
Ours a love I held tightly, feeling the rapture grow 
D#   D#m 
Like a flame burning brightly 
 Dm     C#m  Cm 
But when she left gone was the glow of 
A#      Dm C#m Cm 
Blue Velvet 
           F            A# Dm C#m Cm 
But In my heart there'll alway sbe 
  Cm                    F                       Fm A# 
Precious and warming memories, through the years 
D#     D#m     A#                  Dm Cm F Cm F A#     
And I still can see Blue Velvet through my tears
