Intro 
D    G  Em C            D         G  Em C   
Blue Moon,   you saw me standing alone  
          D           G   Em C 
Without a dream in my heart  
          D          G  Em C D 
Without a love of my own  
  
     G   Em C                    D     G       Em C 
Blue Moon,    you knew just what I was there for  
             D        G        Em C 
You heard me saying a prayer for  
          D            G       Em C D 
Someone I really could care for  
  
               Am         D        G      Em 
And then there suddenly appeared before me  
    Am          D              G   Em 
The only one my arms will ever hold  
  Am             D                 G      Em 
I heard somebody whisper, "Please adore me"  
    A7                                    D7 
And when I looked, the moon had turned to gold  
  
     G  Em C            D       G   Em C 
Blue Moon,   now I'm no longer alone  
          D           G    Em C 
Without a dream in my heart  
          D          G  Em C D G 
Without a love of my own
