Here I Go  

Intro:
~~~~~~
B                           F#
    This is a story 'bout a girl that I knew
           B
she didn't like my songs
         F#
and that made me feel blue
             D#          Db              E
she said: "a big band is far better than you"...


Part I:
~~~~~~~
    
    A              D#11/A#  Bm7        E
She don't rock 'n' roll,     she don't like it
    A              D#11/A#          Bm7         E
she don't do the stroll,   well she don't do it right
      
      A           A7           D            Dm
well, ev'rythings wrong and my patience was gone
       A
when I woke one morning
      E
and remembered this song

     

     
     A   D#11/A#   Bm7     E
O-oh-oh,             kinda catchy, 
A  D#11/A#  Bm7  E
               I hoped
               A          A7
that she would talk to me now
    D      Dm        A
and even allow me to hold her hand
        E
and forget that old band.



Part II:
~~~~~~~~
D               Dm           A     A7
    I strolled around to her pad
D                 Dm             A    E
    her light was off and that's bad
D               Dm         A          F#
    her sister said that my girl was gone
B                             E
   "But come inside, boy, and play, play, play me a song!"


Additional Lyrics:

(w/PART I)
I said "Yeah! Here I go"
She's kinda cute, don't you know?
That after a while of seeing her smile
I knew we could make it, make it in style!

(w/PART II)
So now I've got all I need
She and I are in love, we've agreed
she likes this song and my others too
so now you see my world is...
because of this tune!

(w/PART I)
What a boon this tune!
I tell you soon
We'll be lying in bed, happily wed,
and I won't think of that girl
or what she said...
