"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):

	F             Fm
	I was so downhearted baby
         C              D7
	Till I met with you

Chorus:

	    G7sus4            G7
	You took me (took me) out of the blue
	    G7sus4              G7
	You shook me (shook me) out of the blue

Verse 1:

	Dm7         G7             C       F
	Out of the blue into your arms, oh I came
	Dm7         G7                C      C+
	Out of the blue, leavin' the pain behind
	 F            Fm
	Just as everything was falling
	 C             D7
	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:

	C        F
	/ / / /  / / / /

	C             F                   C
	You passed my way, I passed your name
	                F               C
	And since that day I'm not the same
	           Dm7
	I felt so hard for you
	                G7sus4   G7
	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
