Ballad of Robin Winter-Smith Nanci Griffith
(Richard Dobson)
Once in a Very Blue Moon
1984
(intro)
[E] [D] [A] [E]
[E]Mamma's in the kitchen rattlin' pans and the [D]baby cries,
on the [A]TV news, some[E]body died
[E]He was a crazy biker in a motorcycle ridin' dare[D]devil show,
in Merry [A]England, oh, [E]twenty seven years old
[E]He was tryin' to break the record,
for jumpin' over cars, he [D]was the champ
He fell a [A]little bit short oh, [E]hit the ramp
[E] [D] [A] [E]
[E]This is the story, sad and it's gory of Robin [D]Winter-Smith
He was a [A]very brave man if you [E]get my drift
[E]'Cause he waved to the crowd, headed down the runway like
a [D]man possessed, Robin [A]Winter-Smith, I guess he [E]did his best
[E] [D] [A] [E]
[E]I make a livin' a-playin' these songs and I [D]hang out in bars
I [A]play my guitar, oh but honey, I [E]don't jump over cars
[E]Mamma's in the kitchen rattlin' pans and the [D]baby cries,
on the [A]TV news, some[E]body died
[E]He was a crazy biker in a motorcycle ridin' dare[D]devil show,
in Merry [A]England, oh, [E]twenty seven years old
