I Cant See Nobody

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)

(acoustic guitar w/strings):

Em /D /C# /B

/ / / / / / / / / / / / / / / /

Verse 1:

I walk the lonely streets

I watch the people passing by

I used to smile and say hello

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

I can't see nobody

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

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

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)
