Notes:
The G chord voicing sometimes has the pinky on 3rd
fret of B string – and sometimes no pinky. Experiment
with those voicings at different parts in the song
and you will hear where they fit.
The D add (4) is created by moving the C shape up 2
frets, and only playing the middle 4 strings.
Adrianne walks down from the C chord into the Am on
the way into the chorus – listen and you’ll hear it.
[Verse 1]
G C G
The innocence of the way we loved
Dadd4 C
Brave and foolish
G C G
The wide, curious look in your eyes
Dadd4 C
The strong attraction
G C G
Riding around over ridges and bridges
Dadd4 C
In the dark blue morning
G C G
We would do anything, anything
Dadd4 C
When our love was forming
[Chorus]
Am G C
More than once in a while
G C Dadd4
You make me smile in a memory
C G C G
The unabashed jubilation
C G Dadd4 C
That precious moment we drew together
[Verse 2]
G C G
Making mistakes along the way
Dadd4 C
I often think of them
G C G
It's a big price we had to pay
Dadd4 C
What we lost for learning
G C G
I miss you everyday, I’ll miss you when I die
Dadd4 C
That star is burning
G C G
But the leaves and the planets keep telling me
Dadd4 C
It's all returning
[Chorus]
Am G C
More than once in a while
G C Dadd4
You make me smile in a memory
C G C G
The unabashed jubilation
C G Dadd4 C
That precious moment we drew together
C G C G
You used to tell me these are the days
C G Dadd4 C
And every good time lives forever
[Instrumental Break]
G C G C G
Dadd4 C
[Verse 3]
G C G
Fell in love with a beautiful woman
Dadd4 C
Our love is magic
G C G
She loves me so much that she lets me love you
Dadd4 C
My heart breaks open
G C G
Sometimes I share my tears with her
Dadd4 C
She says my tears are golden
[Chorus]
Am G C
More than once in a while
G C Dadd4
You make me smile in a memory
C G C G
The unabashed jubilation
C G Dadd4 C
That precious moment we drew together
C G C G
Now she tells me these are the days
C G Dadd4 C
And every good time lives forever
C G C G
Now she tells me these are the days
C G Dadd4 C
And every good time lives forever
