Since I Fell For You
Words & Music by Buddy Johnson, 1948Recorded by Lenny Welch, 1963 (#4)
Intro verse*:
E6 C#m7-5 F#7 B7
E9 C#m7-5 A6 B7
When you just give love, and never get love,
E9 Cdim A9 B7
You'd better let love depart
E6 Gdim AM7 Am7
I know it's so and yet I know,
Edim Gdim C#m7-5 Gdim B7
I can't get you out of my heart
E E6 A6 B7 E E6 A
You made me leave my happy home,
Em A AM7 F#7
Took my love and now you're gone
B7 E C#m F#m7 B7
Since I fell for you.
E E6 A6 B7 E E6 A
Love brings such misery and pain,
Em A AM7 F#7
I know I'll never fall again**
B7 E A Am E E7
Since I fell for you.
Bridge:
A7/6 A7 A7/6 A7
Well, it's too bad, and it's too sad,
E A E E7
But I'm in love with you;
A7/6 A7 A7/6 A7
You love me, then you snub me -
E C#m F#m7 B7
But what can I do? I'm still in love with you.
E E6 A6 B7 E E6 A
I guess I'll never see the light;
Em A AM7 F#7
I get the blues most ev'ry night
B7 E C#m F#m7 B7
Since I fell for you,
B7 E A Cdim E
Since I fell for you.
* Special thanks to Deacon Jim (JPalavin@exchange.ureg.ohio-state.edu) for not only pointing out to me that my original chart on this song lacked the intro verse, but also for providing the basis on which this one is built.
**Lenny Welch actually sings this line as "I guess I'll never be the same."
