                                                                                        C   Am   F 
Blue moon, you saw me standing alone 
                     G                      C        Am   F 
Without a dream in my heart,  
                   G                  C     Am   F   G 
without a love of my own. 
 
              C     Am   F 
Blue moon,  
                                    G                    C   Am   F 
you knew just what I was there for 
                              G                          C   Am   F 
You heard me saying a prayet for  
                       G                             C   Am   F 
someone I really could care for. 
 
          Dm                           G                 C 
And suddenly there appeared before me  
       Dm                  G                            C  
the only one my arms could ever hold 
    D#m                       G#                          C# 
I heard someone whisper, please, adore me 
          G                               G7                                  G 
And when I looked my moon had turned to gold. 
 
Violin Solo: 
C   Am   F   G  x4 
 
            C   Am   F 
Blue moon,  
                     G               C   Am   F 
now I'm no longer alone 
                      G                      C   Am   F   
Without a dream in my heart,  
                   G                  C   Am   F 
without a love of my own 
                    G                  C 
Without a love of my own.
