"Midnight Confessions"
(Lou Josie)
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.
Intro:
Bass:
[(G#m)] v v v v [E]v v [F#] v v
(G#m) E F# A [5/4]
v v v v v v v v v v v v v
[(A)] v v v v v v v v
Verse 1:
[G#m]The sound of your footsteps
[F#]Telling me that you're near
[A#m]Your soft gentle motion, baby
[D#m]Brings out the need in me that [C#]no-one can hear, except
Chorus:
[F#]In my midn[C#]ight confessions
[G#m]When I tell all the w[C#]orld that I love you
[F#]In my midn[C#]ight confessions
[G#m]When I say all the t[C#]hings that I want to
[N.C.]
I love you
Bridge:
[E]But a little gold r[B]ing you wear on your h[F#]and makes me u[C#]nderstand
[E]There's another bef[B]ore me, you'll never be [F#]mine
I'm wasting my t[D#]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]
Horn break:
[F#]/ / / / [C#]/ / / / [E]/ / / / [B]/ / / / [2x]
[F#]
[/] [/] [/] [/] [/] [/] [/] [/]
[repeat bridge]
[repeat chorus; first two lines over arpeggiated organ chords only]
Coda [repeat to fade]
[F#]Na na-na [C#]na na na na-na
[E]Na na-na [B]na na na na-na
-- another ace 60's tab from Andrew Rogers
