I Honestly Love You  -  Olivia Newton-John

    Dear guitar player. Please let me spend few words about this song and
    this transciption.
    As you've probably noticed, this great song is played by piano. I think
    you've also noticed that guitar isn't piano. Of course piano can be
    arranged for guitar, but it will cause some problems, especially in this
    song. Take a look at it:

    This is how the intro begins...
  e-23----23--22----22--20----20--  Got it ? Well, maybe few guitar do have
  B-----25--------23--------20----  23th and 25th fret, but I guess that not
  G---23--------22--------20------  many of normal guitars do. I personally
  D-------------------------------  have an accoustic, an electro-accoustic
  A-------------------------------  and an electric guitar, and none of them
  E-------------------------------  does have (most of el.guitars end with
                                    22th fret).
    So if you would like to arrange this song for a guitar, you probably will
    not be able to play the beginning of the intro. Of course, we can play it
    in an lower octave, but then the intro ends with:

  e------------------------------- Maybe some guitars have 25th fret I really
  B------------------------------- dont' think that any guitar has -1st -2nd
  G------------------------------- and -4th fret. So playing it one octave
  D-0---0------------------------- down is not a good solution, if you want
  A----1---3------3-0-----0------- to play the intro.
  E---1---- -1 --2-- -4 -1 -------

    And that's why this transciption offers two version of the song. The
    first of them is the original one. It fits the song, but you probably
    will not be able to play the intro with the guitar. The second version
    is the same one, but tuned 2 tones up. You will be able to play the intro
    with your guitar. Choose the version you like.

!!! THE END (OF KIDDING) !!!

Verse1:

  Bb                         F
  Maybe I hang around here a little more than I should
     Ab                                Eb
  We both know I got somewhere else to go
      Bb                                 C7
  But I got somethin' to tell you that I never thought I would
      Eb            Bb                 Cm7
  But I believe you really ought to know

  F7 Bb            F Eb          Bb       F  Eb
        I love you,  I honestly love you


Verse2:

  Bb                          F
  You don't have to answer, I see it in your eyes
  Ab                          Eb
  Maybe, it was better left unsaid
      Bb                           C7
  But this is pure and simple, and you must realize
            Eb             Bb                    Cm7
  That it's comin' from my heart and not my head

  F7 Bb            F Eb          Bb       F  Ab Bb
        I love you,  I honestly love you


Bridge:

  Eb                F               Dm7          Gm7
  I'm not trying to make you feel uncomfortable
      Cm7                    F7          Bb
  I'm not trying to make you anything at all
  Am7    D7   Gm7              Bb        F     Eb
     But this feeling doesn't come along ev'ry day
          Eb                 Bb               Cm7               F
  And you shouldn't blow the chance, when you got the chance to say

  Bb            F Eb          Ebm             Bb    F#7 B
     I love you,  I love you, I honestly love you


Verse3:

  B                         F#
  If we both were born in another place and time
       A                           E
  This moment might be ending in a kiss
      B                            C#7
  But there you are with yours and here I am with mine
       E                   B              C#m7
  So I guess we'll just be leaving it at this

  F# B            F# E               B    F# E          B         F# E B
       I love you,   I honestly love you,    I honestly love you
