Written by Don McLean
Intro: B
C#m7 F#7 B (B Bbm G#m)
And I love you so, the people ask me how
C#m7 E F#7
How I live till now, I tell them, I don't know
B C#m7 F#7 B (B Bbm G#m)
I guess they understand, how lonely life has been
C#m7 F#7 B E F#7
But life began again, the day you took my hand
B G#m C#m7
And yes I know, how lonely life can be
F#7 B
The shadows follow me and the night won't set me free
G#m C#m7
But I don't let, the evening get me down
F#7 B
Now that you're around, me

C#m7 F#7 B (B Bbm G#m)
And you love me too, your thoughts are just for me
C#m7 E F#7
You set my spirit free, I'm happy that you do
B C#m7 F#7 B (B Bbm G#m)
The book of life is brief, and once a page is read
C#m7 F#7 B E F#7
All but love is dead, that is my belief
B G#m C#m7
And yes I know, how loveless life can be
F#7 B
The shadows follow me and the night won't set me free
G#m C#m7
But I don't let, the evening bring me down
F#7 B F#7
Now that you're around, me
B C#m7 F#7 B (B Bbm G#m)
And I love you so, the people ask me how
C#m7 E F#7 B (G#m F#7 E Em B)
How I live till now, I tell them, I don't know...
