VERSE: 
         Bb   Dm      Dbm    Cm 
She wore blue velvet (whoa, whoa) 
          F          Bb          Dm    Dbm6  Cm 
Bluer than velvet was the night (whoa, whoa, whoa) 
            Cm7           F 
Softer than satin was the light 
        Bb     Cm 
From the stars 

F        Bb   Dm      Dbm   Cm 
She wore blue velvet (whoa, whoa)   
          F          Bb          Dm    Dbm6  Cm 
Bluer than velvet were her eyes (whoa, whoa, whoa) 
            Cm7            F 
Warmer than May her tender sighs 
         Fm   Bb7 
Love was ours 

 
Ebmaj7	            Ebm  
Ours, a love I held tightly   
Bbmaj7	            Bb9 
Feeling the rapture grow   
Eb	             Ebm      Ebm7 
Like a flame burning brightly   
Dm7         Dbm7  
But when she left   
Cm7	     F  
Gone was the glow of... 
 

Bb    Dm     Dbm   Cm 
Blue velvet (whoa, whoa) 
          F              Bb         Dm    Dbm6  Cm 
But in my heart there'll always be (whoa, whoa, whoa) 
            Cm7         F 
Precious and warm a memory 
	    Fm      Bb7 
Through the years 
      Ebmaj7             Ebm 
And I still can see blue velvet 
           Bb        F# 
Through my tears (Ah-Ah) 

(Key change to B) 
  
         B    D#m     Dm    C#m 
She wore blue velvet (whoa, whoa) 
         F#              B          D#m   Dm    C#m 
But in my heart there'll always be (whoa, whoa, whoa) 
                          F# 
Precious and warm a memory   
	    F#m      B7 
Through the years 

CODA: 
     (Emaj7)           (Em) 
And I still can see blue velvet 
           B           D#m   Dm C#m   C      B 
Through my tears (Blue velvet, oo..., oo..., oo...) 

Final touch: 
If you want to mimic the glockenspiel at the end, you can either finish in a Bmaj79 or replace the last B altogether by this:
