Just Once In A Very Blue Moon Mary Black lyrics and guitar chord

Written by  Patrick Alger and Eugene Levine, also recorded by Nanci Griffith. I broke this song down into a nearly 3 chord job. I took out all the unnecessary filler chords. Sometimes a song may have chords like F#m and C#, most of the time these difficult chords are not required, but as you become a more experienced player you may put them in yourself.

I[D] found your [A]letter in my[G] mailbox to[D]day
You were just checking if [A]I was o[G]kay
And[D] if I[A] miss you, well you [G]know what they say
Just once[A] in a [D]very blue[D] moon
Just [G]once in a [A]very blue[D] moon
Just [G]once [A]in a very blue [Bm]moon
And I [G]feel one [A]coming on [D]soon
 
 
No need to ask me if we can be friends
And help me right back on my feet again
And if I miss you, well just now and then
Just once in a very blue moon 
Just once in a very blue moon 
Just once in a very blue moon 
And I feel one coming on soon
 
chorus
There's a[G] blue moon [A]shin[D]ing
When [G]I am re[A]minded of [G]all we've been [D]through
Such a [G]blue moon [A]shin[D]ing
Does it [G]ever shine down on [A]you
 
 
You act as if it doesn't hurt you at all
Like I'm the only one who's getting up from a fall
Don't you remember now don't you recall
Just once in a very blue moon 
Just once in a very blue moon 
Just once in a very blue moon 
And I feel one coming on soon 
Just once in a very blue moon
