Once In A While
Billy Dean

Intro  C  F  C  F

C               Cmaj7
Once in a while
        F
Someone comes along
     Am       Am7     Em
That one in a million heart
   Bb                Dm  G7
So pure and so strong
         F              Fm
They can face up to the tears
    C                    A7   Bm7 C#m7
And somehow still find a smile
   Dm7
If we only get
      G7       C    F  C  F
Every once in a while

Once in a while
        Fmaj7         F
Someone had the eyes
     Am               Em
That one in a million look
     Bb               G  G7
That never tells lies
         F               Fm
They can get you on your feet
   C               A7   Bm7 C#m7
To walk that extra mile
Dm7
we only see
G     G7        C    F C
Every once in a while

G#                     D#
That`s why we call them heroes
F#                      C#
That`s why we know their names
    E                       B
And once you`ve heard their stories
       Bb
You`re never quite the same
F#                     C#
That`s why we call them heroes
E                        B
the best thing they ever do
   G#m                     C#
Is point to the best in us all
        C#m              F#   C G
And say If I can you can too

C              Cmaj7
Once in a while
        Fmaj7           F
I still hear his voice
     Am               Em
That one in a million sound
     Bb                G  G7
Like two laughing boys
         F             Fm
He would hate it if we cried
     C             A7   Bm7  C#m7
That never was his style
      Dm7
Oh we still miss him
G     G7        C     Fmaj7
Every once in a while
