                            ONCE IN A WHILE
                            ---------------
Besides, people had already tabbed all the other good ones! These chords
Intro : G   (until you're ready.)
GOnce in a while,
She don't want to    Amcall you,
  DSpeaking on the teleGphone,
And once in your life,
She won't want to    Amknow you,
    BmYou look around, Cthe one you found,
And she is Dgone.
N.                    C  G  
    And that's all the time,
That it Amtakes,
    DFor a heart to turn to Gstone,
The sweeter the wine,
The harder to    Ammake the break,
   BmYou hear something   Cabout someone
You thought you'd Dknown
N.C.                G  
      So baby don't cry,
Like there's no toAmmorrow,
   DAfter the night there's a brand new Gday,
And there'll be no pain,
And no more Amsorrow,
   BmSo wash your face,
   CAnd call my place,
   DIt'll be OK,
(you get the idea of the chord sequence)
And that's all the time,
That it takes,
For a heart to beat again,
So give me a sign,
That a lover makes,
You look around, the one you've found
Is back Dagain     (is back aCgain)
Is back Dagain     (is back aCgain)
Is back Dagain     (is back aCgain)
(*single strums here*)
CIs Amback Ca---Ggain.....
