Once in a Very Blue Moon
1984

[intro]

E D A E

E                                            D
Mamma's in the kitchen rattlin' pans and the baby cries,
       A            E
on the TV news, somebody died
E                                               D
He was a crazy biker in a motorcycle ridin' daredevil show,
         A            E
in Merry England, oh, twenty seven years old

E               
He was tryin' to break the record,
                          D
for jumpin' over cars, he was the champ
          A                    E
He fell a little bit short oh, hit the ramp

E                                             D
This is the story, sad and it's gory of Robin Winter-Smith
         A                     E
He was a very brave man if you get my drift
E
'Cause he waved to the crowd, headed down the runway like
  D                    A                        E
a man possessed, Robin Winter-Smith, I guess he did his best

E D A E

E                                           D
I make a livin' a-playin' these songs and I hang out in bars
  A                               E
I play my guitar, oh but honey, I don't jump over cars

E                                            D
Mamma's in the kitchen rattlin' pans and the baby cries,
       A            E
on the TV news, somebody died
E                                               D
He was a crazy biker in a motorcycle ridin' daredevil show,
         A            E
in Merry England, oh, twenty seven years old
