      [Intro]
C  Em/B  Am  C/G  F  C/E  Dm  Gsus  G

C                 Em/B       Am              C/G              
Nine times out of ten, she's right when I am wrong,
F                 C/E  Dm             Gsus  G
When I won't give in,  she just goes along.
C              Em/B  Am            C/G
Standing by my side, sittin' home alone,
     F                                 Gsus  G
I'll never know what keeps her hangin' on,
     F       F#dim              Gsus  G
When anybody else would be long gone.

    Dm             G
But once in a blue moon,
C       Em/B      Am    C/G
I'll do something right.
    Dm             G
And once in a blue moon,
     C        Em/B    Am     C/G
I'll make her feel so fine.
      Dm                 G
I can make her laugh and make her cry,
    Am                C/G          F      C/E
She hates the way she loves me sometimes,
    Dm             G                       C
But once in a blue moon, I'll do something right.

[Instrumental]
C  Em/B  Am  C/G  F  C/E  Dm  Gsus  G

      C              Em/B        Am               C/G
She's starving for affection, so hungry for loves touch,
        F            C/E        Dm                Gsus  G
But she only hears 'I love you' when we're making love.
C                 Em/B       Am              C/G
Lord, I'll always wonder why she loves me so much,
         F                           Gsus  G
When the best I'll ever do won't be enough,
   F                  F#dim        Gsus  G
So I'll just thank my lucky stars above.

     Dm             G
That once in a blue moon,
C       Em/B      Am    C/G
I'll do something right.
    Dm             G
And once in a blue moon,
     C        Em/B    Am    C/G
I'll make her feel so fine.
             Dm                     G             Abm
'Cause I can make her laugh, oh and make her cry,
    Am                C/G          F      C/E
She hates the way she loves me sometimes.
Dm             G     F  Em             Am   Em/B  C  C/G
Once in a blue moon,    once in a blue moon,
      Dm             G                       C    Em/B  Am  C/G
Every once in a blue moon, I'll do something right.
Dm        Gsus  G  C
Once in a blue     moon.
