"Out Of The Blue"
(Ritchie Cordell - Bo Gentry)
[Notes: 1) OK, so this wasn't such a big hit but it's always been one of my
(and Tommy James' own) favorites. 2) You could substitute D13 for D7 to
cover the B in the high harmonies, but the guitar actually plays D7.]
Intro (really a verse without the first two lines):
I was so downhearted baby
Till I met with you 
Chorus:
You took me (took me) out of the blue
You shook me (shook me) out of the blue
Verse 1:
Out of the blue into your arms, oh I came
Dm7 G7 C C+
Out of the blue, leavin' the pain behind
Just as everything was falling
You came into view

repeat chorus

Verse 2:
Out of the blue into a love so real, yeah
Out of the blue, how very strange it feels
Everything was so ungroovy
Till you pulled me through

repeat chorus

Bridge:
/ / / / / / / /
You passed my way, I passed your name
And since that day I'm not the same
I felt so hard for you
For every little part of you
Verse 3:
Out of the blue into your arms, oh I came
Out of the blue, into your love just in time
Everything was so ungroovy
Till you pulled me through

repeat chorus

Coda (repeat to fade):
Dm7 G7 C C+
Out of the blue, baby you took me out of the blue
-- another ace 60's tab from Andrew Rogers
