Ballad of Robin Winter-Smith Nanci Griffith (Richard Dobson) Once in a Very Blue Moon 1984 [intro] E D A E

^EMamma's in the kitchen rattlin' pans and the ^Dbaby cries, on the ^ATV news, some^Ebody died ^EHe was a crazy biker in a motorcycle ridin' dare^Ddevil show, in Merry ^AEngland, oh, ^Etwenty seven years old

^EHe was tryin' to break the record, for jumpin' over cars, he ^Dwas the champ He fell a ^Alittle bit short oh, ^Ehit the ramp

E D A E

^EThis is the story, sad and it's gory of Robin ^DWinter-Smith He was a ^Avery brave man if you ^Eget my drift ^E'Cause he waved to the crowd, headed down the runway like a ^Dman possessed, Robin ^AWinter-Smith, I guess he ^Edid his best

E D A E

^EI make a livin' a-playin' these songs and I ^Dhang out in bars I ^Aplay my guitar, oh but honey, I ^Edon't jump over cars
