Souvenirs chords by Meat Loaf

Meat Loaf: Souvenirs
4/4, Key of C

It's a pretty straightforward song. The only thing that I need to add is that everytime you see a G7 with
an astrix next to it, the following single-note melody is played: F# to D#, F to D. This is normally
played in the bass, but the horns occasionally play a variation thereof too!


Intro:
C | G | F | C
C | G | F | C
Am | G7 | F7 | G7 | G7
C | G | F | F


Verse 1:
C         G  F         C
Baby I think it’s over,  the end is finally near.
C              G    F          C
Don’t wanna talk about it anymore,   I see it all so clear.
Am             G            F        G7 *    G7 *
   So pack your bags and move on out, there ain’t nothing for you here
C              G      F         C      C
   I think you know it’s over too, so why not disappear?

C             G         F             C
Wait a minute baby, what’s that you say? You really don’t think it’s fair
   C           G               F         C
To send you outside into the cold, cold night? Oh you poor, poor girl, well I don’t really care.
 Am              G           F            G7 *    G7 *
   Coz you’ve been cold to me so long I’m crying icicles instead of tears.
C              G            F        C    C   C   C
   So pack your bags and move on out, there ain’t nothing for you here

Verse 2:
C        G   F       C
Baby I know it’s over,  I got a last idea
C              G          F           C
    Don’t wanna leave you empty handed, well I agree that wouldn’t be fair.
  Am                 G           F            G7 *   G7 *
So take along a little something to remember me by, a little something to show that I care

C         G          F        C      C
Step right up you poor, poor girl, and take your Souvenirs.


Verse 3:
C      Dm   F     Am
   Take my heart;  drain it dry.

   I don’t blame you now, coz I know you really tried.
C      Dm   F         Am
   Take my soul;  you can have my mind
      C7          F             Dm  G     C     C
But you’re never gonna get your hands on my love, coz it’s mine, mine, all mine.


C      Dm    F         Am
   Take my master;  you can have my slave.
C7           F           Dm       G
   When I’m dead and buried alive, you can always take my grave.
C       Dm      F             Am
   Take my body; well I know you really think it’s fine
      C7          F               Dm  G     C    C
But you’re never gonna get your hands on my love, because it’s mine, mine, all mine.
