Nothing Takes The Place Of You

"Nothing Takes The Place Of You"

(Toussaint McCall)

(organ, pedal bass, and piano - there is no guitar on the record):

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

Verse 1:

I moved your pictures from my wall

And I'll replace them, both large and small

And each new day finds me so blue

Bbm Eb Eb7+5

Nothing takes the place of you

Verse 2:

I read your letters one by one

And I still love you when it's all said and done

And oh my darling, I'm so blue

Because nothing, oh nothing, takes the place of you

As... I write this letter

It's raining on my windowpane

As... I feel the need of you

Bb7 Eb7 Eb7+5

Because without you nothing seems the same

Verse 3:

So I'll wait until you're home

Again I'll love you but I'm all alone

And oh, my darling, I'm so blue

Because nothing, oh but nothing takes the place of you
