"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.

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 C#
Brings out the need in me that no-one can hear, except

Chorus:

F# C#
In my midnight confessions
G#m C#
When I tell all the world that I love you
F# C#
In my midnight confessions
G#m C#
When I say all the things that I want to
[N.C.]
I love you

Bridge:

E B F# C#
But a little gold ring you wear on your hand makes me understand
E B F#
There's another before me, you'll never be mine
D#
I'm wasting my time

[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# C#
Na na-na na na na na-na
E B
Na na-na na na na na-na


-- another ace 60's tab from Andrew Rogers
