G / / Gsus4 / /
Verse 1:
G Gsus4 G Gsus4 G Gsus4
I got this strange feelin'
G Gsus4 G Gsus4
Deep down in my heart
D D7
I can't tell what it is
G Gsus4 G Gsus4
But it won't let go
D D7
It happens every time
G Gsus4 G Gsus4
I give you more than what I have
C
But now all I need is a little time
Eb7 D7
To sing this song and I think we're gonna find
G Gsus4 G Gsus4 G Gsus4
A way to lose this strange feelin'
G Gsus4
All around
Verse 2:
I feel ya, darlin', feel ya darlin'
When you're home all alone
Oh, don't you need somebody
To talk your troubles to
Ah, lord I know
I wanna catch
The morning train, the break of day
Lord the first thing I wanna hear you say
We're gonna take that strange feelin'
Oh, take it all away
(instrumental verse)
Verse 3:
Well it's just like a mockingbird singing on a hillside
Chirping at his morning song
But don't you weep don't you fret don't you wail don't you moan
Can't you hear that whipoorwill a-callin?
Now don't you worry
Your daddy's comin' home
He's gonna chase those blues away
And believe me when I say
We're gonna lose that strange feelin'
All around all around...
G Gsus4 (to end)

C Fmaj7 C
Just like a buzzin' fly
Fmaj7 C
I come into your life
Fmaj7 C
Now I float away
Fmaj7 C Fmaj7 C Fmaj7 c
Like honey in the sun
Fmaj7 C
Was it right or wrong
Fmaj7 C Fmaj7 C
I couldn't sing that song anyway
(For these next two parts repeat C Fmaj7)
Oh, but darlin'
Now I remember
How the sun shown down
And how it warmed your prayin' smile
When all the love was there
You're the one I talk about
You're the one I think about
Everywhere I go
And sometimes honey
In the mornin'
Lord, I miss you so
Bb F C Fmaj7 C
That's how I know I found a home
Bb F C Fmaj7 C Fmaj7 C
That's how I know I found a home
(For these 4 parts, do the C Fmaj7 thing)
Oh, hear the mountains singing
Lord, I can hear them ringing, darlin',
Out your name
And tell me if you know
Just how the river flows
Down to the sea
Now I wanna know
Everything about you
I wanna know
Everything about you
What makes ya smile
What makes ya wild
What makes ya love me this way
Darlin' I wanna know
Darlin' I wanna know
You're the one I talk about
You're the one I think about
Everywhere I go
And sometimes honey
In the mornin'
Lord, I miss you so
Bb F C Fmaj7 C
That's how I know I found a home
Bb F C Fmaj7 C
That's how I know I found a home
(Do the C Fmaj7 thing for these 5 parts)
A-walkin' hand in hand
And all along the sand
A seabird knew your name
He knew your love was growin'
Lord, I think it knows it's flowin'
Thru you and me
Ah, tell me darlin'
When I should leave you,
Ah, tell me darlin'
I don't want to grieve you....
Just like a buzzin' fly
I come into your life
Now I float away
Like honey in the sun
Was it right or wrong
I couldn't sing that song anyway
Oh, but darlin'
Now I remember
How the sun shown down
And how it warmed your prayin' smile
When all the love was there
You're the one I talk about
You're the one I think about
Everywhere I go
And sometimes honey
In the mornin'
Lord, I miss you so....

Was to watch it die away

The seventh chords in the last bit are just guesses on my part.
Feel free to take liberties with any part that doesn't sound
right to you.
Gm Eb Ebsus4 Ab Bb G
Lady time fly away
Cm Eb Dm Dm/A Bb C Am Gm C F
I've been thinking 'bout my yesterday
F C G Dm
Oh, please listen darlin' to my empty prayers
Am C Dm
Sleep inside my dreams tonight
Am C Dm Am Gm Dm
All I need to know tonight are you and my child
F C G Dm
Oh, is he a soldier or is he a dreamer?
Am C Dm
Is he mama's little man?
Am C Dm
Does he help you when he can?
Am Gm Dm
Or does he ask about me?
F C G Dm
Just like a soldier boy I been out fighting wars
Am C Dm
That the world never knows about
Am C Dm
But I never win them loud
Am Gm Dm
There's no crowds around me
F C G Dm
But when I get to thinkin' about the old days
Am C Dm
When love was here to stay
Am C Dm
I wonder if we'd ever tried
Am Gm Dm C Dm
Oh, what I'd give to hold him
F# A#m
In my heart is where I long for you
B F#
In my smile I search for you
(F#) A#m B
Each time you turn and run away I cry inside
F# E D#
My silly way, just too young to know any more
F# A#m
In my world the devil dances and dares
B F#
To leave my soul just anywhere
(F#) A#m
Until I find peace in this world
B F#
I'll sing a song everywhere I can
E D#
Just too young to know any more
G# B F#
The wind covers me cold
G# B F#
The starry skies all around my eyes
G# B F#
Far behind the city moans
G# B F#
Well worthy of the people there
E D#
Oh, the psalms they love to hear
F# A#m
So let me sing a song for you
B F#
Just to help your day along
(F#) A#m
Let me sing a song for you
B F#
One I've known so very long
E D#
Oh, please could you find the time
