Me too. I really like the Dm. I watched several versions of the song on Youtube and never saw that chord, but it sounds good.

Great job picking up on the A7 and the Dm. The original Elvis recording actually alternates between staying on the A and the D in the first half of the verse/chorus and switching to the A7 and Dm for the second half of the verse/chorus. A D I said blue moon of Kentucky just-a keep on shinin' A E E7 Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue A A7 D Dm I said blue moon of Kentucky just-a keep on shinin' A E E7 A Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue. Other than that it's perfect.
