This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

C7

I want a love that' s right,

But right is only half of what' s wrong

Dm7

I want a short haired girl

Who sometimes wears it twice as long

F7 Ab

Now I'm stepping out this old brown shoe

Baby, I'm in love with you

F7

I'm so glad you came here,

E7 Am

It won't be the same now I'm telling you

C7

C7

You know you pick me up

From where some tried to drag me down

Dm7

And when I see your smile

Replacing every thought less frown

F7 Ab

So escaping from this zoo

Baby I'm in love with you

F7

I'm so glad you came here

E7 Am

It won't be the same now when I'm with you

G7

If I grow up I'll be a singer

F7 G7

Wearing rings on every finger

Not worrying what they or you'll say

F7

I'll live and love and maybe someday

D7/F# G7

Who knows baby you may comfort me

C7

Dm7

Solo F7 Ab F7 E7 Am G7

G7

I may appear to be imperfect

F7 G7

My love is something you can reject

I'm changing faster than the weather

F7

If you and me should get together

D7/F# G7

Who knows baby you may comfort me...

C7

I know my love is yours

To miss that love is something I'd hate

Dm7

I'll make an early start

F7

I'm making sure that I'm not late

For your sweet top lip I'm in the queue

Ab

Baby I'm in love with you

F7

I'm so glad you came here

E7 Am

It won't be the same now when I'm with you....
