[Verse]
   C                                  G
I've been living in this month of Sundays
  C                              F
for so long I don't remember Saturday night.
  C
Broken records don't play new tunes
  G
except for once in a blue moon.
   F                      G              C
And I've looked but the moon is still white.
 
[Verse]
   C                                      G
And I've been summoned to the summit of Sundays
   C                                     F
someone somewhere may do something with his life.
   C
A smoker's lungs don't blow balloons
   G
except for once in a blue moon.
   F                      G              C
And I've looked but the moon is still white.
   F                            C
Rusty guns fire rusty shots, leopards never change their spots,
   C                      G
fireworks always fade too soon.
   F                               Am
Empty words don't mean a lot and from me that's all you've got.
   G
But I swear to you darling one day we'll stand beneath a blue moon.
 
[Verse]
    C                                 G
I've been living in this month of Sundays,
   C                                 F
and I forget what Monday morning feels like.
   C                                  G
Blushing brides and handsome grooms deep in debt from honeymoons
   F                 G               C
Stare above but the moon is still white.
    C                                G
I've wandered into wondering if one day,
   C                             F
when the war is won, and one finally made two
   C                                     G
When we think not of what we've not, and think only of what we've got
   F                  G                 C
And we go dancing underneath the blue moon.
 
[Verse]
   F                                                C
All black kettles and black pots seem to fight an awful lot,
   C                                         G
and make the kitchen the most uncomfortable of rooms
   F                               Am
Empty words don't mean a lot, but from me that's all you've got.
   G
I swear to you darling one day we'll stand beneath a blue moon.
 
[Bridge]
   Am       C        F
Oh, oh.  Oh, oh.  Oh, oh, oh.
 
[Verse]
  C                                     G
So I've been living in this month of Sundays
  C                                       F
and I don't know when this month may be through.
  C                                    G
So will you tell me that you'll wait for as long as it may take
  F                      G                C
And I swear darling I'll show you a blue moon
  F                 G                C
Oh my darling I'll show you a blue moon.

I think this is a great tab...I agree with the other two commenters on suggested modifications, but even without them it sounds really good. I did find myself throwing in an extra switch in a few places. For example, at the end of the line and make the kitchen the most uncomfortable of rooms I threw in a G chord (which actually makes it match with the first two verses about broken records and smokers lungs). I also played a C then went back to G at the end of the lines like this one: But I swear to you darling one day well stand beneath a blue moon. Otherwise, it seemed like a long time to hold the G, but I play the song more slowly than the record version, so that may have something to do with it. Anyway, I don't recommend those as edits, but just as ideas that others, especially others who slow it down and fingerpick it, may want to try. Great tab--thanks.
