Once in a While - Shakey Graves
(NB: The original is a bit out of tune)
Capo IV
[Verse 1]
G
So you wake up thirty-five
With a child and a bride
D
In time, I know, you've seen it all before
G
But not on you, no, no, no
D
No, I don't believe it's true
[Chorus]
Bm A G
You say, "I've lived enough of famous nights
A
All by my lone"
G
And I would like to be the dark
A
And I would want her, too
Oh, baby, maybe
G D G D
Once in a while
[Verse 2]
G
So don't tell me, I'll tell you
D
Oh yeah I've been here for a while
G
Oh the world ain't free
No, the world ain't free
D
But it always pays to fake a smile
G
Oh yeah so save your money and wake up broke
D
Yeah worry late or worry no (no)
G
Oh oh write it down in a big old book
D A D
Throw it under the bed and never look
[Chorus]
Bm A G
You say, "I've lived enough of famous nights
A
All by my lone"
G
And I would like to be the dark
A
And I would want her, too
Oh, baby, maybe

Once in a while

'Cause here in the big easy
Bm G
Yeah, I would like to be only here
A
Once in a while
G
From the bottom of the moon
A
To the bottom of my glass
G
It's not far
Bm D A
Yeah, don't you see that I
Bm A G
Have nothing better to do
Fade out on Bm A G
