Take a Chance   by Allan Byer @ 9/99

Verse and chorus progressions:  blues in A to D7, GDA mini bridge at end of chorus


Verse 1	No Blues ever gonna stop me loving’ you
		No Blues ever gonna stop me, Babe lovin’ you.
		Old Blues comes most anytime.
		Old Blues too often catches me cryin’ about you.
		And it’s true, Mama.

Chorus		Take a Chance.  Take a Chance on Love.
		Take a Chance.  Take a Chance on Love.
		You got the love and strength I need.      (GDA bridge begins on this line.)		
You help me  to stand and believe.
		Let me know. Let me know, Mamma.     (bridge ends on “Mamma.”)


Verse 2	Words won’t come.  Got to find out why.
		Words won’t come.  You know it’s gonna make me cry.
		How do I say you’re the biggest thing?
		How do I make those heart strings sing?
		Let me know.  Let know, Mamma.	

Chorus 2	Take a Chance.  Take a Chance on Love.
		Take a Chance.  Take a Chance on Love.
		You know you’d like to make me feel so good.
		You know you’d like to if I would.
		Let me know.  Let me know, Mamma.

Verse 3	Put on your red dress, Mamma.   Go dancing tonight. 
		Put on your red dress, Mamma. Yea you’re gonna feel all right. 
		Red dress gonna make you wanna dance.
		Red dress gonna make you take a chance on love.

Chorus 3	Take a Chance.  Take a Chance on Love.
		Take a Chance.   Take a Chance on Love.
		You got the love and the strength I need.
		You help me to stand and believe.
		Let me know. Let me know, Mamma.

Instrumental Break:  guitar solo

Verse 4	No Blues ever gonna stop me lovin’ you.
		No Blues ever gonna stop me, Babe, lovin’ you.

That’s love.  It’s Love.

Chorus 4	Take a Chance.  Take a Chance on Love.
		Take a Chance.  Take a Chance on Love.   Take a Chance.
