Tom: C

C  Em/B  Am  C/G  F  C/E  Dm  Gsus  G 
INTRO 
 
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. 
 
 
C  Em/B  Am  C/G  F  C/E  Dm  Gsus  G 
INSTRUMENTAL 
 
 
      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.
