                        C     Dm7         C          Dm7 
When the sun is high in the afternoon sky 
        C           Dm7           C    C/B 
You can always find something to do 
          Em7      B7            Em7       B7 
But from dusk til dawn, as the clock ticks on 
    G     Em7         Dm7    G7   G7/9 
Something happens to you 
       C         Dm7            C           Fdim 
In the wee small hours of the morning 
            C         Am             Dm7    D7/9    G7 
While the whole wide world is fast asleep 
     F   Cdim       C    C/B       Am 
You lie awake and think about the girl  
      D         D7       D7/9      G     D7     G7 
And never ever think of counting sheep 
             C     Dm7                   C        Dm7 
When your lonely heart has learned its lesson 
          C      Em5-/7 A4/7            A7 
You'd be hers if only   she   would call 
       F         Cdim         C    C/B    A7 
In the wee small hours of the morning 
            F                G    Fdim   C   Fm  Fdim  C 
That's the time you miss her most  of  all
