"One Less Bell To Answer"
(Bacharach - David)
[This one came out in the fall of 1970, and while Bacharach and David
continued to collaborate for another couple of years I believe this was
their last big hit.]
Intro:
/ / / / / /
Em7/G F#m7 Gmaj7/E
/ / /
Verse 1:
One less bell to answer
One less egg to fry
Gmaj7 C#m7/F# F#7
One less man to pick up after
I should be happy
Em7 F#m7 Gmaj7 Gmaj7/A (Dmaj7)
But all I do is cry
Verse 2:
(Cry, cry, no more laughter) I should be happy
(Oh, why did he go)
Gmaj7 C#m7/F# F#7
Since he left my life's so empty
Bridge:
Though I try to forget it just can't be done
Each time the doorbell rings I still run
Cmaj7 Cmaj7/E
I don't know how in the world
Fmaj7 Cmaj7/E
To stop thinking of him
Fmaj7 Cmaj7/E Bm7/E E7
'Cause I still love him so
I spend each day the way I start out
Crying my heart out
Verse 3 (first two lines instrumental):
/ / / / / / / /
/ / / / / / / /
One less man to pick up after
No more laughter, no more love
Em9 F#m7 Gmaj7 Gmaj7/A
Since he went away (he went away)
Coda:
(One less bell to answer) Why did he leave me
Bm9 F#m7 Em7/G F#m7 Gmaj7/E Gmaj7/A
(Why, why, why did he leave)
(One less bell to answer) Now I've got one less egg to fry
One less egg to fry
(Why, why, why did he leave) And all I do is cry
(One less bell to answer) Because a man told me goodbye
(Why, why, why did he leave)
(One less bell to answer) Somebody tell me please
Where did he go, why did he go
(Why, why, why did he leave) How could he leave me
end cold on Dmaj7
