Chords with lyrics

Meat Loaf: Souvenirs
4/4, Key of C majorC

It's a pretty straightforward song. The only thing that I need to add is that everytime you see a G7G7 with
an astrix next to it, the following single-note melody is played: F#F# to D#, FF to D. This is normally
played in the bass, but the horns occasionally play a variation thereof too!


Intro:
C majorC | G+G | FF | C majorC
C majorC | G+G | FF | C majorC
A minorAm | G7G7 | F7F7 | G7G7 | G7G7
C majorC | G+G | FF | FF

Verse 1:
C majorC                  G+G    FF                  C majorC
Baby I think it’s over,    the end is finally near.
C majorC                           G+G        FF                   C majorC
Don’t wanna talk about it anymore,     I see it all so clear.
A minorAm                          G+G                       FF               G7G7 *        G7G7 *
     So pack your bags and move on out, there ain’t nothing for you here
C majorC                           G+G            FF                  C majorC           C majorC
      I think you know it’s over too, so why not disappear?


C majorC                          G+G                  FF                          C majorC
Wait a minute baby, what’s that you say? You really don’t think it’s fair
      C majorC                      G+G                             FF                  C majorC
To send you outside into the cold, cold night? Oh you poor, poor girl, well I don’t really care.
 A minorAm                           G+G                     FF                       G7G7 *        G7G7 *
      Coz you’ve been cold to me so long I’m crying icicles instead of tears.
C majorC                           G+G                        FF               C majorC       C majorC      C majorC     C majorC
      So pack your bags and move on out, there ain’t nothing for you here

Verse 2:
C majorC                G+G      FF              C majorC
Baby I know it’s over,    I got a last idea
C majorC                            G+G                    FF                      C majorC
       Don’t wanna leave you empty handed, well I agree that wouldn’t be fair.
   A minorAm                                 G+G                      FF                        G7G7 *     G7G7 *
So take along a little something to remember me by, a little something to show that I care
