 I found your letter in my mailbox today

 There's a blue moon shinin' 
      F      G         F              C  
 When I am reminded of all we've been through 
        F         Em   C  
 Such a blue moon shinin'  
         F                  G  
 Does it ever shine down on you?

 C            G            F 
 You act as if it never hurt you at all 
 C            G            F 
 Like I'm the only one who's gettin' up from a fall 
 C            G            F 
 Don't you remember? Can't you recall?

 Just once in a very blue moon 
      F     G       Em        Am           
 Just once ... in a very blue moon  
      F        G         C 
And I feel one comin' on soon 
      F        G         C 
 Just once in a very blue moon
