Midnight Confessions The Grass Roots
"Midnight Confessions"
(Lou Josie)
Originally done by the Evergreen Blues (Mercury 72756) earlier in 1968; the
Grass Roots' arrangement is more-or-less a note-for-note copy of theirs.

Verse 1:
[Abm]The sound of your footsteps
[F#]Telling me that you're near
[Bbm]Your soft gentle motion, baby
[Ebm]Brings out the need in me that [C#]no-one can hear, except
Chorus:
[F#]In my midn[C#]ight confessions
[Abm]When I tell all the w[C#]orld that I love you
[F#]In my midn[C#]ight confessions
[Abm]When I say all the t[C#]hings that I want to
[spoken:] I love you
Bridge:
[E]But a little gold r[B]ing you wear on your h[F#]and makes me u[C#]nderstand
[E]There's another bef[B]ore me, you'll never be [F#]mine
I'm wasting my t[Eb]ime
[]
Verse 2:
Staggering through the daytime
Your image on my mind
Passing so close beside you baby
Sometimes the feelings are so hard to hide, except
[repeat cborus]
