from Ray Charles' "Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music"
tabbed by John Lofgren [email protected]
Eb Eb/D E7
You give your hand to me And then you say, "Hello."
Ab Ab/G Ab7
And I can hardly speak, My heart is beating so.
Eb C7 Fm7 A#
And anyone can tell You think you know me well.
G G# A#
Well, you don't know me (no you don't know me)
VERSE 2
No you don't know the one
Who dreams of you at night;
And longs to kiss your lips
And longs to hold you tight
Oh I'm just a friend.
That's all I've ever been.
Eb Ab Eb Eb7
Cause you don't know me.(no you don't know me)
BRIDGE:
Ab Ab7 Eb Eb7
For I never knew the art of making love,
Ab A# Eb
Though my heart aches with love for you.
Ab Ab7 Eb C7
Afraid and shy, I let my chance go by.
F F7 A# A#7
A chance that you might love me too. (love me too)
VERSE 3
You give your hand to me,
And then you say, "Goodbye."
I watched you walk away,
Beside the lucky guy
Oh, you'll never ever know
The one who loved you so.
Well, you don't know me
BRIDGE 2
(For I never knew the art of making love, )
(Though my heart aches with love for you. )
Afraid and shy, I let my chance go by.
A chance that you might love me too.
(love me too)
VERSE 4 - step up 1/2 step to E for this verse:
Oh, you give your hand to me,
And then you say, "Goodbye."
I watched you walk away,
Beside the lucky guy
Oh, you'll never ever know
The one who loved you so.
Well, you don't know me
(you don't love me, you don't know me)
