"And I Love You So" by Don McLean
Taken from the "Favorites & Rarities" double CD. I think this TAB is rather
accurate. It's not always that easy to transcribe Don's guitar through all
the violins etc. that dominate part of the song, but I've done my best.
I honestly think that any mistakes are so small that they can be neglected.
Listen to the album. I know Elvis Presley also played this song.

For original album tuning: Capo on 4th fret, but it's easier to

Have fun!
And I love you so (Don McLean)

Lyrics:
And I love you so (Don McLean)
1.verse And I love you so
The people ask me how
How I've lived till now
I tell them I don't know
I guess they understand
How lonely life has been
But life began again
The day you took my hand
1.chorus And yes I know how lonely life can be
The shadows follow me
And the night won't set me free
But I don't let the evening get me down
Now that you're around me
2.verse And you love me too
Your thought are just for me
You set my spirit free
I'm happy that you do
The book of life is breif
And once a page is read
All but love is dead
That is my belief
2.chorus And yes I know how loveless life can be
The shadows follow me
And the night won't set me free
But I won't let the evening bring me down
Now that you're around me
3.verse And I love you so
The people ask me how
How I've lived till now
I tell them - I don't know

Taken from the "Favorites & Rarities" double CD. I think this TAB is rather
accurate. It's not always that easy to transcribe Don's guitar through all
the violins etc. that dominate part of the song, but I've done my best.
I honestly think that any mistakes are so small that they can be neglected.
Listen to the album. I know Elvis Presley also played this song.
This song is also available on the albums:
Tapestry
Solo
Greatest hits then and now
The best of Don McLean

Comments and corections are always welcome.
The lyrics follow after the TAB...
For original album tuning: Capo on 4th fret, but it's easier to
sing the chorus by playing in a lower key.
Have fun!
And I love you so (Don McLean)

Lyrics:
And I love you so (Don McLean)
1.verse And I love you so
The people ask me how
How I've lived till now
I tell them I don't know
I guess they understand
How lonely life has been
But life began again
The day you took my hand
1.chorus And yes I know how lonely life can be
The shadows follow me
And the night won't set me free
But I don't let the evening get me down
Now that you're around me
2.verse And you love me too
Your thought are just for me
You set my spirit free
I'm happy that you do
The book of life is breif
And once a page is read
All but love is dead
That is my belief
2.chorus And yes I know how loveless life can be
The shadows follow me
And the night won't set me free
But I won't let the evening bring me down
Now that you're around me
3.verse And I love you so
The people ask me how
How I've lived till now
I tell them - I don't know
