Ebony Eyes Bob Welch
By Bob Welch
From the FRENCH KISS album, 1977
Bob Welch was one of the great guitarists to find their way through the
Fleetwood Mac family. He was the guitarist right before Lindsey Buckingham.
Along with Christine McVie he wrote the hit Hypnotized. He is also responsible
for Sentimental Lady (you can find that tab with the Fleetwood Mac stuff).
Mystery Train was another hit penned for Fleetwood Mac by Bob Welch. French
Kiss was his solo effort after leaving the band. It contains a memorable little riff.

[Am]Have you seen that girl in the [E]corner?
I'd like to [Am]take her out of her c[E]hains
'Cause if I [Am]had my ways with you [E]baby
I would be ch[Dm]anging your life t[Am]oday
(chorus):
[C]Your eyes got me d[Am]reamin'
[C]Your eyes got me b[Am]lind
[C]Your eyes got me h[Am]opin'
Dm Riff/Am
That I'll be holding you close tonight
repeat chorus
She was the [Am]same as a hundred l[E]adies
But when my e[Am]yes looked at her I l[E]earned
that she was [Am]keeping a secret f[E]ire
and if I [Dm]got too close I'd b[Am]urn
N/C Am E
So it looked like I'd have to move slowly
Just like a c[Am]at at night in the t[E]rees
'cause I was w[Am]aiting for her to s[E]how me
That way that [Dm]she liked her love to[Am] feel
repeat chorus
[Dm] [Am]Ebony Eyes
[Dm] [Am]Ebony Eyes
[Dm] [Am]Ebony Eyes
[Dm] [Am]Ebony Eyes
play the riff as you outro the "Ebony eyes" bit
