Verse 1:

Cm                  F
Once upon a time be-fore I took up smiling
  Cm        G7   Cm
I hated the moon-light
Cm                        F
Shadows of the night that poets find beguiling
       Cm         G7   Cm
Seemed flat as the noon light.

G7                  C
With no one to stay up for,
G7                 C
I went to sleep at ten,
Fm6               Cm
Life was a bitter cup for,
Fm6                G7
the saddest of all men

Chorus:

     C     Am7Dm7
Blue moon,  you saw me
G7         C    Am7
standing a-lone
Dm7       G7
Without a dream in my
C      Am7Dm7
heart,  without a
F          C    Am7Dm7
love of my own.

G7   C     Am7
Blue moon,
Dm7           G7
You knew just what I was
C           Am7Dm7
 there for,  you heard me
G7       C          Am7
Saying a prayer for
Dm7       F            C         Fm6C
Someone I really could care for.

    C7         Dm7         G7        C       Edim
And then there suddenly ap-peared be-fore me
         Dm7                G7   C     C7
The only one my heart could ever hold;
             Fm7           Bb7       Eb       Eb6
I heard some-body whisper, "Please a-dore me."
           G                    D7        G
And when I looked, the moon had turned to gold.

G7   C     Am7
Blue moon,
Dm7        G7       C    Am7
Now I'm no longer a-lone
Dm7       G7          C      Am7
Without a dream in my heart,
Dm7       F          C    EdimDm7G7
Without a love of my own.

Verse 2:

Cm                  F
Once upon a time my heart was just an organ
   Cm           G7  Cm
My  life had no mis-sion,
Cm                      F
Now that I have you, To be as rich as Morgan,
   Cm        G7 Cm
Is my one am-bi-tion

G7              C
Once I awoke at seven,
G7                 C
Hating the morning light
Fm6            Cm
Now I awake in Heaven
Fm6                     G7
And all the world's all right
