Cherish The Association
three months. [Maybe in Japan; in tbe US, it was #1 for tbree weeks.]<br/> This song was a result of Terry Kirkman's fascination with the word<br/> "Cherish". The group's music publisher fought the title, believing it<br/> was too archaic. Arranged by the group, this song went through three<br/> completely different productions before being recorded. At the time, it<br/> was not considered for release as a single record. Fortunately, a disc<br/> jockey in Ohio took it upon himself to cause a regional breakout.<br/> <br/> <br/> Intro:<br/> <br/> Fmaj9 [xx7988] Ebmaj9 [xx5766]<br/> <br/> Fmaj9 Ebmaj9<br/> Bum - bum - bum - bum<br/> <br/> <br/> Verse 1:<br/> <br/> Fmaj9 Gm7/C [xx5766] Ebmaj9 Gm7/C<br/> Cherish is the word I use to describe<br/> Fmaj9 Gm7/C Ebmaj9 Gm7/C<br/> All the feeling that I have hiding here for you inside<br/> Am7 Bb<br/> You don't know how many times I've wished that I had told you<br/> Am7 Bb<br/> You don't know how many times I've wished that I could hold you<br/> Am7<br/> You don't know how many times I've wished that I could<br/> Bb Am7 Gm7<br/> Mold you into someone who could<br/> Bb C [bammer-on: xx555x->xx756x]<br/> Cherish me as much as I cherish you<br/> <br/> Verse 2:<br/> <br/> Perish is the word that more than applies<br/> To the hope in my heart each time I realize<br/> That I am not gonna be the one to share your dreams<br/> That I am not gonna be the one to share your schemes<br/> That I am not gonna be the one to share what<br/> Seems to be the life that you could<br/> Cherish as much as I do yours<br/> <br/> Bridge:<br/> <br/> Gm7 C<br/> Oh I'm beginning to think that man has never found<br/> Am7 E<br/> The words that could make you want me<br/> C F Dm/C<br/> That have the right amount of letters, just the right sound<br/> Bb Gm7<br/> That could make you hear, make you see<br/> Eb C<br/> That you are drivin' me out of my mind<br/> <br/> Fmaj9 C<br/> Oh I could say I need you but then you'd realize<br/> Cm D9<br/> That I want you just like a thousand other guys<br/> Bb C<br/> Who'd say they loved you With all the rest of their lies<br/> Dm /Bb /A /G<br/> When all they wanted was to touch your face, your hands<br/> Eb C D7<br/> And gaze into your eyes<br/> <br/> Verse 3 [words same as verse 1, cbord progression completely different]:<br/> <br/> G C Bb C<br/> Cherish is the word I use to describe<br/> G C Bb C<br/> All the feeling that I have hiding here for you inside<br/> Bm7 C<br/> You don't know how many times I've wished that I had told you<br/> Bm7 C<br/> You don't know how many times I've wished that I could hold you<br/> Bm7<br/> You don't know how many times I've wished that I could<br/> C Bm7 Am7<br/> Mold you into someone who could<br/> F D<br/> Cherish me as much as I cherish you<br/> <br/> Coda:<br/> <br/> [N.C.] D G C D<br/> And I do cherish you<br/> G C D G C D<br/> And I do cherish you<br/> <br/> [N.C.]<br/> Cherish is the word<br/> <br/> guitar 1 [w/tremolo]:<br/> <br/> Bbmaj7<br/> ---------------------17----------5-<br/> ---------------13s18----17-------6-<br/> -------7-10s14-------------------7-<br/> ---7-8---------------------------8-<br/> -8---------------------------------<br/> -----------------------------------<br/> <br/> guitar 2 [w/more tremolo]:<br/> ---------------------------<br/> ---------------------------<br/> ---------------5-----------<br/> -------5-------------------<br/> ---------------------------<br/> -3-------------------------<br/>
