Midnight Confessions Tabulatur von The Grass Roots

Verse 1:

        G#m
        The sound of your footsteps
        F#
        Telling me that you're near
        A#m
        Your soft gentle motion, babe
       D#m                            C#
       Brings out the need in me that 
no-body 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            
       But a little gold ring you wear 
        F#            C#
on your hand makes me understand
       E                  B              
       There's another before me, you'll 
        F#
never be mine
                        D#
        I'm wasting my time

Verse 2:
           G#m
        Staggering through the daytime
           F#
        Your image on my mind
           A#m
        Passing so close beside you babe
          D#m                        
       Sometimes the feelings are so 
C#
hard to hide, but

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

Originally done by the Evergreen Blues 
(Mercury 72756) earlier in 1968; the
