Something`s gotten hold of my heart (1967)

 

     Am                                                 G

1. Something's gotten hold of my heart,

                          F                 E           Am

    keeping my soul and my senses apart.

                                                 G

    Something's gotten into my life,

                       F                         E                  Am

    cutting it's way through my dreams like a knife,

      G               F           E                Am

    Turning me up, and turning me down,

       G                 F              E              Am

    making me smile, and making me frown.

 \                                    G                                C

    In a world that was small, I once lived in a time

                     F                     E            Am   ~

    that was peace and no troubles at all.

                                           G                               Am

    But then you came my way, and a feeling unknown

                       G                       D                 G

    shook my heart, made me want you to stay,

     D             G              D             F     -   E

    all of my nights, and all of my days.

 

 Am                                             G

Something's gotten hold of my hand,

                       F             E          Am

dragging my soul to a beautiful land.   

                                                        G

Yeah, something has invaded my night,

                      F                 E            Am

painting my sleep with a colour so bright,

    G                  F              E                 Am

changing the grey, and changing the blue,

    G            F             E             A

scarlet for me, and scarlet for you.

 

   B7

I got to know if this is the real thing,

                                                                       E

I got to know it's making my heart sing, wo-hoo-o-ye-e-e-e-e e-.

          E7                                                        E

You smile and I am lost for a lifetime, each minute spent with you

           E7               

is the right time.   Every hour, every day, you touch me

 

and my mind goes astray, yeah. Baby, baby.
