[B]
Some say she came from [G#m] Georgia, [C#] some say from Tennessee.
[G#m] [F#] But the neighbor wasn't looking like my old blue [B] moon, Lord knows it'll never be.
She could jump right over a [G#m] mountain, she could outrun a diesel [C#] train.
[F#] Her mother was that blue box bed you would find [B] in the eye of a hurricane.
Harry, with the raised mountain plume, he [C#] ran us down to Tennessee.
[F#] Against Molly and the Timbrooks, [B] all the people came to see.
Now Timbrooks was a favorite, [C#] people said I was a fool.
[F#] Riding high, riding handsome on [B] my good ol' blue moon.
Hey, hey, hey, [F#] [B] blue moon.

[F#m] The Timbrooks moved [B] on out of here most of all to Wausau.
I remember living in a [C#] firework, making that candle of the blue moon.
[F#] I knew it was gonna fly and we'd make [B] it into the moon.
When we hit the finish line, [E] all the boys, all the boys, all [F#] the boys,
he knew she came off with the [B] clubs, he could keep on the ground.
The crowd was cheering Timbrooks, it [C#m] was a sight to see.
[F#] But over here now, the sight [B] wasn't all the blue moon and kids.

Can't you tell me that race was [C#] running, never came back down?
[F#] You can get a place in outer space, [B] not on solid ground.
When you hear a storm [C#] raging and you hear a storm wailing,
[F#] be right on home, old blue moon, like [G#m] this thing in a tail.
