"Midnight Confessions"

Originally done by the Evergreen Blues (Mercury 72756) earlier in 1968; the
Grass Roots' arrangement is more-or-less a note-for-note copy of theirs.

Verse 1:
G#mThe sound of your footsteps
F#Telling me that you're near
A#mYour soft gentle motion, baby
D#mBrings out the need in me that C#no-one can hear, except
Chorus:
F#In my midnC#ight confessions
G#mWhen I tell all the wC#orld that I love you
F#In my midnC#ight confessions
G#mWhen I say all the tC#hings that I want to
Bridge:
N.C.
I love you EBut a little gold rBing you wear on your hF#and makes me uC#nderstand
EThere's another befBore me, you'll never be F#mine
I'm wasting my tD#ime
[repeat first four bars of intro, then 2/4 bar w/snare on 2]
Verse 2:
Staggering through the daytime
Your image on my mind
Passing so close beside you baby
Sometimes the feelings are so hard to hide, except
[repeat chorus]
