Song: Spooky

Artist: Classics IV

Music: Mike Shapiro and Harry Middlebrooks Jr.

Lyrics: James Cobb and Buddy Buie

Tabbed by DJ 15th Oct 2012

PLEASE NOTE:

'Classics IV' recorded different versions in the keys

of Em and also in Fm. The most commonly heard mix on

compilation albums is in Fm, so use a capo at the

first fret for that one.

By the late 1990's, the bands' vocalist, Dennis Yost,

dropped the key down for live performances to Dm, use

the transpose function set to (-2) to display chords

in Dm for that one.

Atlanta Rhythm Section's cover version has a key

change, it starts off in Em and then modulates

up a semi-tone to Fm.

I would recommend using the voicings in the text

column numbers below.

Regarding the CHORD BOX DIAGRAMS please follow the

information at the bottom of the tab.

Em7 = 079787 or 022030

Em7/B = 779787 or x22030

A13 = 575675 or x02022

A#dim7 = xx8989 or x12020

Bm7 = 797777 or x20202 or x24232

N.C. = No chords ^ = Emphasise the syncopated beats

Please take a second to scroll down to the bottom of

Verse 1

In the cool of the evening,

When everything is getting kinda groovy,

I call you up and ask you if you'd like to go with me

And see a movie, first you say no,

You've got some plans for the night,

A13 N.C. A#dim7 N.C.

And then you stop, and say... al - right,

^ ^ ^

Love is kinda crazy...

With a spooky little girl like you!

Verse 2

You always keep me guessing,

I never seem to know what you are thinking,

And if a feller looks at you, it's for sure,

Your little eye will be a - winking,

I get con - fused, 'cause I don't know where I stand,

A13 A#dim7 N.C.

And then you smile ...and hold my hand,

^ ^ ^

Love is kinda crazy...

...With a spooky little girl like you,

Spooky, hey - ey, yeah!

Verse 3

If you de - cide, someday,

To stop this little game that you are playing,

I'm gonna tell you all the things...

My heart's been a-dying to be saying,

Just like a ghost, you've been a- haunting my dreams,

A13 A#dim7 N.C.

So I'll pro - pose... on Hall - o - ween,

^ ^ ^

Love is kinda crazy...

With a spooky little girl like you! Spooky!

Coda

Spooky! Oh - oo - woh, alright!

I said spooky, ...oh------!

Hey - yeah, I said spooky!

A - yeah, yeah! Oh - oo - woh!
