You Only Live Once (In a While)

(C) We only live (C7) once in a (F) while (Am)
So let's (Am7/g) live for (Dm/f) today we're (C) alive (G)
(C) Between the first (C7) step (F) and the last (Dm) mile
We (G7) only live once in a (C) while (G)

     The (C) hobo's taken the (Dm) last milk-train home
     (G) Bluebird's finished her (C) singing and gone
     My lady and (C7) me we'll be (F) up for the (Dm) dawn
     You (G) only live once in a (C) while (G)

Yes we only live once in a while
So let's live for today we're alive
Between the first tear and the last smile
We only live once in a while

     See the willow how she catches the wind
     Following me down the road round the bend
     Over the years she has taught me my friends
     That we only live once in a while

Yes we only live once in a while
So lets live for today we're alive
Bewteen the first step and the last smile
We only live once in a while
