Once in a blue moon (US & CAN Country 1, 1986)     (video)

C - G - Am - C - F - C - Dm - G

C Em Am C

1. Nine times out of ten, she's right when I am wrong,

F C Dm G

when I won't give in, she just goes along.

C Em - Am C

Standing by my side, sittin' home alone,

F G - G7

I'll never know what keeps her hangin' on,

F D7 G

when anybody else would be long gone.

Dm G C Em Am - C

But once in a blue moon, I'll do something right,

Dm G C Em Am - C

and once in a blue moon, I'll make her feel so fine.

Dm G

I can make her laugh and make her cry,

Am C F

she hates the way she loves me sometimes.

Dm G C

But once in a blue moon, I'll do something right.

+ C - G - Am - C - F - C - F - G

C Em Am C

2. She's starving for affection, so hungry for love’s touch,

F C Dm G

but she only hears 'I love you' when we're making love.

C Em Am C

Lord, I'll always wonder why she loves me so much,

F G - G7

when the best I'll ever do won't be enough.

F D7 G

So I'll just thank my lucky stars above.

Dm G C Em Am - C

But once in a blue moon, I'll do something right,

Dm G C Em Am - C

and once in a blue moon, I'll make her feel so fine.

Dm G

I can make her laugh and make her cry,

Am C F

she hates the way she loves me sometimes.

Dm G - E Am

But once in a blue moon, once in a blue moon,

Dm G C - Em - Am - C

every once in a blue moon, I'll do something right.

Dm C

Once in a blue moon.
