where the *** are above, you need to bend down from
12th to 11th - the 12th fret note is reached by
fretting the 11th and bending up 1/2 note, then slowly
release the bend back, timing the bend so that the
11th fret note is reached at the point shown above


verse 1

chords

Bb majorBb 6 8 8 7 6 6
G minorGm 3 5 5 3 3 3
C minorCm 8 10 10 8 8 8
Eb MajorEb 11 13 13 12 11 11

Bb majorBb
  when I look...
G minorGm       Bb majorBb
  oh, but I... feel
     C minorCm
...while  and you...
Bb majorBb
  and I'll sleep...
G minorGm           Bb majorBb
  and it won't be lo-ong
     C minorCm     Bb majorBb
...while  then...down
      (Bb majorBb C minorCm Eb MajorEb) x 2
...walk away

verse 2

Bb majorBb
  when you say...
G minorGm         Bb majorBb
  oh, but I...in you
      C minorCm
...forget it  no-oooh
Bb majorBb
  when you sleep...
G minorGm      Bb majorBb
 and it...lo-ong
     C minorCm       Bb majorBb
...while  when you...smile
          (instrumental
...long blonde hair     break)


verse 3 - I think it's the same as verse 1, it sounds
a bit like it should be different but I think only the
bass changes and the guitar plays the same chords as
before...

then it's a long instrumental break, then end by
striking a Bb majorBb chord...all there is to it
