Song of The Day for Monday, March 11, 2013

Grass Roots.


  C                    F
 Don't bother cryin', don't bother crawlin'
  C                 G
 It's all over now, no use in stallin'
      C                                 F
 The love I once felt, I don't feel anymore for you
  C                   G
 This time I'll even open the door for you
  C                  C7
 You walked out when I was down
       F
 Well now I'm well off
      D7                G
 And look who's comin' round

Chorus:

   C         F
 Where were you when I needed you
   C         G
 Where were you when I wanted you
   C         F
 Where were you when I needed you
 CaddD  G/B   G/A  G [as per intro]
 Where..ere...ere

Verse 2:

 You're lookin' good, it's hard to fight it
 But no use explainin', I've already decided
 That livin' with you, it's worse than without you
 I won't spend a lifetime a-worryin' about you
 Oh, things got rough and you disappeared
 Now I'm back on my feet
 But look, look who's standing there

[repeat chorus]

Harpsichord solo:

 C                          F        C   G    C
 / / / /  / / / /  / / / /  / / / /  / / / /  / / / /

Verse 3:

 Oh, you were so young, and you were so wild
 I knew you were nobody's innocent child
 That first day I saw you, you really got to me
 I thought I could change you, what good did it do me
 Oh, things got rough and you wouldn't wait
 Now you're tripping back
 But babe, it's too late

[repeat chorus to fade]
