B-side of 'New York Mining Disaster 1941', and one of my all-time favorite
Bee Gees songs.  Amazingly soulful (it got significant airplay on R&B
stations), especially considering that they were only 17-19 years old at
the time. -- AWR


                          "I Can't See Nobody"
                       (Barry Gibb / Robin Gibb)

Intro:

	(acoustic guitar w/strings):

	Em      /D       /C#      /B
	/ / / /  / / / /  / / / /  / / / /

Verse 1:

	Em          D
	I walk the lonely streets
	    A               E
	I watch the people passing by
	Em                   D
	I used to smile and say hello
	     A             E
	Yes, I was just a happy guy

	(drums enter midway through each verse)

	Then you happened, girl
	This feeling that possesses me
	I just can't move myself
	I guess it all just had to be

Chorus:

	A        D     E
	I can't see nobody
	A            D     E
	No, I can't see nobody
	    A        D    E       A  [1-3: N.C.; 5: end cold]
	My eyes can only look at you
	 E  [1-3: N.C.]
	You

Verse 2:

	I used to have a brain
	I used to think of many things
	I watched the falling rain
	And listened to the sweet bird sing

	Don't ask me why, little girl
	I love you and that's all I can say
	You're every, every breath that I take
	You are my nights, my night and day

[repeat chorus]

Verse 3 (note extra lines):

	Every single word you hear, girl
	Is coming from this heart of mine
	I've never felt like this before
	A love like yours, so young and fine

	And now as I try to forget you
	It doesn't work out anyway
	I loved you such a long time ago
	Though in my eyes you'll always stay

	Every single word you hear
	Is coming from this heart of mine
	I loved you such a long time ago
	 A                      E
	Don't know why, girl I don't know why
	(Baby, such a long time
	 Baby, such a long time
	 Baby, such a long time)

[repeat chorus]

[repeat chorus; end cold as indicated]
