Steve Forbert - I Blinked Once lyrics

rate me

the basic chord pattern for the verses in any key 1 is

1 - 4 - 1, 5 - 1, 1 - 4 - 1, 4 - 5 - 1

use a capo at the 2nd or 3rd fret and use these chords (D)

I think Steve capo's at three on the Be Here Now CD

(D)Childhood often seemed a (G)pain to (D)me

so hard (A)waiting to be (D) grown

(D) childhood climbed up in a (G) white oak (D)tree

(G)I blinked (A)once and it was (D)gone

Airplane flyin across the midnight sky

His tiny lights blinked off and on

I watched 'im move across the moon on high

I blinked once and it was gone

(A)gone (Bm)gone (G) I blinked (A)once and it was (D)gone

A girl I'd met was all I cared for , friends

I called her my very own

We went down to hear the band begin

I blinked once and she was gone

gone gone I blinked once and it was gone

I won big money on the gamblin wheel

And I thought i's sittin on a throne

big john told me bout his condo deal

I blinked once and It was gone

gone gone I blinked once and it was gone

the nineteen seventies was ten long years

was ten long years to sing a song

It kicked off madly with a new Year's cheer

I blinked once and it was gone

gone gone I blinked once and it was gone

now old man's talkin bout a gun he'd shot

an' he weren't much more than skin an bone

lyin there breathin on this worn out cot

I blinked once and he was gone

gone gone, I blinked once and he was gone
