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 | 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


Sax Solo:
C majorC | G+G | FF | C majorC
C | G+G | FF | C majorC
A minorAm | G+G | FF | G+G | G+G
C majorC | G+G | FF | C majorC


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

C7C7           FF           DmDm       G+G
   When I’m dead and buried alive, you can always take my grave.
