The Essex 1963 (Hoff / Linton)
Capo II*
D
D
My friends all tell me
Go to him, run to him
Say sweet lovely things to him
A G A
And tell him, he's the one
D
Deep in my heart I know it
But it's so hard to show it
A D
'Cause it's easier, easier said than done
D
My buddies tell me
Fly to him, sigh to him
Tell him I would die for him
A G A
And tell him he's the one
G D
Although he gives me a feeling
That sets my heart a-reeling
A D D7
Yet it's easier, easier said than done
G
Well, I know that I love him so
D
I'm afraid that he'll never know
G
Because I, I get so timid and shy
A
Each time that I look him in the eye

They all tell me
D
Sing to him, swing with him
And just do anything for him
A G A
And tell him he's the one
A D
I got a love so true
But I'm sad and blue
A D D7
'Cause it's easier, easier said than done
G
Well, I know that I love him so
D
I'm afraid that he'll never know

Because I, I get so timid and shy

Each time that I look him in the eye

Sing to him, swing with him
And just do anything for him

And tell him he's the one

I got a love so true
But I'm sad and blue
