My eyes adored you    (midi)

 

    Am - C - F - D - D7

 

 - - - - - - -  Am                                                             D

My eyes adored you, though I never laid a hand on you,

                  G

my eyes adored you,

 

like a million miles away from me you couldn't see

             Am

how I adored you:

                       D                      C   

so close, so close and yet so far.

 

       G                                       Bm

1. Carried your books from school,

                   Dm                                           C

    playing make-believe you're married to me,

    Am                            C                     F                      D7

    you were fifth grade, I was sixth, when we came to be.

       Em                          Bm         Dm            G                C

    Walking home every day over Barnegat Bridge and Bay,

                Am               C                           F                           D7

    till we grew into the me and you, who went our separate ways.

 

+ CHORUS

 

       G                   Bm

2. Headed for city lights,

                       Dm                                  C

    climbed the ladder up to fortune and fame,

       Am                        C                    F                     D7

    I worked my fingers to the bone, made myself a name.

    Em                       Bm               Dm                    G           C

    Funny, I seem to find that, no matter how the years unwind,

            Am                            C                            F                 D7

    still I reminisce about the girI I miss, and the love I left behind.

 

+ CHORUS (3x) ….
