              (Barry Gibb / Robin Gibb)
 
Intro:
 
    (acoustic guitar w/strings):
 
    Em      /D       /C#      /B
    / / / /  / / / /  / / / /  / / / /
 
Verse 1:
 
    Em          D
    I walk the lonely streets
        A               E
    I watch the people passing by
    Em                   D
    I used to smile and say hello
         A             E
    Yes, I was just a happy guy
 
    (drums enter midway through each verse)
 
    Then you happened, girl
    This feeling that possesses me
    I just can't move myself
    I guess it all just had to be
 
Chorus:
 
    A        D     E
    I can't see nobody
    A            D     E
    No, I can't see nobody
        A        D    E       A  (1-3: N.C.; 5: end cold)
    My eyes can only look at you
     E  (1-3: N.C.)
    You
 
Verse 2:
 
    I used to have a brain
    I used to think of many things
    I watched the falling rain
    And listened to the sweet bird sing
 
    Don't ask me why, little girl
    I love you and that's all I can say
    You're every, every breath that I take
    You are my nights, my night and day
 
repeat chorus
 
Verse 3 (note extra lines):
 
    Every single word you hear, girl
    Is coming from this heart of mine
    I've never felt like this before
    A love like yours, so young and fine
 
    And now as I try to forget you
    It doesn't work out anyway
    I loved you such a long time ago
    Though in my eyes you'll always stay
 
    Every single word you hear
    Is coming from this heart of mine
    I loved you such a long time ago
     A                      E 
    Don't know why, girl I don't know why
    (Baby, such a long time
     Baby, such a long time
     Baby, such a long time)
 
repeat chorus
 
repeat chorus; end cold as indicated
