Blue moon, you saw me stand-ing a-lone 

-5   6  -6 6     6  -5 6 
With-out a dream in my heart, 

5    -5  6 5    5  -3 5 
With-out a love of my own. 

7 6  7     -6  7    -7   7    
Blue moon, you knew just what 

7 -6  7     7 
I was there for, 

-5  6     -6 6   6  -5 6      6 
You heard me say-ing a prayer for 

 5   -5  6 5    5   -3   4    4 
Some-one I real-ly could care for. 

5   5    5     -5  -5 -5  
And then there sud-den-ly 

-5 6      6  5    5
ap-peared be-fore me 

5   5 5  -5  -5 -5   -5    6 6   5 
The only one my arms would ever hold. 

5 5     5   -5 -5 -5   -5         
I heard some-body whis-per, 

 6      6 5    5 
"Please a-dore me." 

5   5    5 5      
And when I looked, 

5   -5   -5  -5     -5  7 
the moon had turned to gold. 

-7 6 7     -6  7  -7  7   7  -6 7 
Blue moon, now I'm no longer a-lone, 

-5   6  -6 6     6 -5  6 
With-out a dream in my heart, 

5    -5  6 5     5 -3 4 
With-out a love of my own.
