Heart Full of Soul

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

Verse 1

Dm G Bb Dm

Sick at heart and lonely deep in dark despair

Dm G Bb Dm

Thinking one thought only where is she, tell me where

Dm G Bb Dm

And if she says to you she don't love me

Dm G Bb Dm [N.C.]

Just give her my message tell her of my plea

Chorus

D F G D

And I know, if she had me back again

Bb F D

Oh, I would never make her sad

A G Dm

I got a hea-a-a...a-a-art full of soul

Verse 2

She's been gone such a long time

Longer than I can bear

But if she says she wants me

Tell her that I'll be there

And if she says to you

She don't love me

Just give her my message

Tell her of my plea

Chorus

D F G D

And I know, if she had me back again

Bb F D

Oh, I would never make her sad

Note: I saw the Yardbirds perform this on some TV show and Chris Dreja was

playing the acoustic rhythm part on a 12-string tuned down a whole tone:

[Verse] Em A C Em (4X)

[Chorus] E G A E

C G E

B A Em

-- another ace 60's tab from Andrew Rogers
