Subject: CRD: Over my Shoulder by Mike and the Mechanics
This is the original key (F)
I posted it a few months ago, but only a draft version,
Klaus Tauber put it together with the complete lyric,
thanks Klaus.
But Klaus missed some chords in the ending.
OVER MY SHOULDER
================
by Mike & The Mechanics
Intro:Fm7 - Bb - D#
Fm7 Bb D#
1. Looking back over my shoulder
Fm7 Bb D#
I can see that look in your eyes
Fm7 Bb D#
I never dreamed it could be over
Fm7 Bb D#
I never wanted to say good bye
Fm7 Bb D#
2. Looking back over my shoulder
Fm7 Bb D#
With an aching deep in my heart
Fm7 Bb D#
I wish we were starting over
Fm7 Bb D#
Oh instead we're drifting so far apart
C# G# F# G#
B: Everybody told me you were leaving
C# G# F# G#
Funny I should be the last to know
C# G# F# G#
Baby, please, tell me that I'm dreaming
F# H
I just never want to let you go
Fm7 Bb D#
3. Looking back over my shoulder
Fm7 Bb D#
I can see that look in your eyes
Fm7 Bb D#
Turning my heart over and over
Fm7 Bb D#
I never wanted to say good bye
C# G# F# G#
B: I don't mind everybody laughing
C# G# F# G#
But it's enough to make an old man cry
C# G# F# G#
'cause I can feel you're slipping through my fingers
F# H
I don't even know the reason why
4. Whistle the melody
C# G# F# G#
B. Everyday it's a losing battle
C# G# G# G#
Just to smile and hold my head up high
C# G# F# G#
Could it be we belong together
F# H
Baby, won't you give me one more try?
(tricky part) -> C# D# F F# G# (listen to the record to get it right)
One more try
Fm7 Bb D#
5. Looking back over my shoulder
Fm7 Bb D#
I can see that look in your eyes
Fm7 Bb D#
I never dreamed it could be over
Fm7 Bb D#
I never wanted to say good bye
