Collin Raye was born Aug. 22, 1960, in DeQueen, AR, with the name Floyd Collin Wray. Both of his parents were musical, and his mother, Lois Wray, was a regionally popular performer in East Texas who opened shows for Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis and Carl Perkins in the 1950s. At 7, Raye was onstage with her performing. At 13, he and his older brother Scott formed The Wray Brothers and performed in the roadhouses of the Lone Star State. They soon became headliners in Portland, OR, and in the casinos of Reno, NV.

It Could Happen Again by Collin Raye Tabbed by Justin Orr ([email protected])
Capo 3rd Fret (All Chords Relative to Capo)
VERSE EmCG Through the smoke filled night silence rose from both sides
D/F# Across a bloody battlefield
EmC It was a cold Christmas Eve in 1914
GD/F# To those who were there, it seemed unreal
BmEm As time was still the spirit moved the soldiers
CEmCEm To lay down their arms and raise their voice in song
CDsusD And pretend for a while the war was over
CHORUS GDEmBm If it could happen then, it could happen again
CGAmD A world torn apart could join hands and hearts
GDEmBm To celebrate his birth and peace on this Earth
CGAmD If for one magic night we could find again a reason not to fight
Cadd9/BCCadd9/BC Maybe there's a chance; This time it might last.
VERSE As opposing sides approached through broken words they spoke It wasn't long before they felt at ease They shared their cigarettes, what they had they used as gifts They didn't feel like enemies With candles lit they stood shoulder to shoulder And on that field they found true common ground And as they prayed they dreamed the war was over
CHORUS If it could happen then, it could happen again A world torn apart could join hands and hearts To celebrate his birth and peace on this Earth If for one magic night we could find again a reason not to fight Maybe there's a chance; This time it might last.
GDEmC If it could happen then, it could happen again.
