With out a (Fm7)love of my own;

Blue (Eb)moon

you knew just (Bb7)what I was there for,

you heard me (Bb7)say ing a pray’r for

some one I (Fm7)real ly could care for.

And then there (Ab6)sud den ly ap (Bb13)peared be (Eb)fore me

The on ly (Ab6)one my arms will (Bb13)ev er (Eb)hold.

I heard some (Abm)bod y whis per, (Db7)“Please a (Gb)dore me”

And when I (Bb)looked, the moon had (Cm7)turned (F7)to (Fm7)gold!

(Bb7)Blue (Eb)moon!

Now I’m no (Bb7)long er a lone

With out a (Bb)dream in my heart,

With out a (Fm7)love of my own.

With out a (Bb7)dream in my heart,

With out a (Fm7)love of my own;

Blue (Eb)moon

you knew just (Bb7)what I was there for,

you heard me (Bb7)say ing a pray’r for

some one I (Fm7)real ly could care for.

And then there (Ab6)sud den ly ap (Bb13)peared be (Eb)fore me

The on ly (Ab6)one my arms will (Bb13)ev er (Eb)hold.

I heard some (Abm)bod y whis per, (Db7)“Please a (Gb)dore me”

And when I (Bb)looked, the moon had (Cm7)turned (F7)to (Fm7)gold!

(Bb7)Blue (Eb)moon!
