EVERYBODY'S TALKIN NILSSON

E
Everybody's talkin' at me
E7
I don't hear a word they're sayin'
B7 E
Only the echoes of my mind


People stoppin' starin'
I can't see their faces
Only the shadows of their eyes


Chorus
A B7
I'm goin' where the sun keeps shinin'
E E7
Thru' the pourin' rain
A B7 E E7
Goin' where the weather suits my clothes
A B7
Bankin' off of the north-east wind
E E7
Sailin' on a summer breeze
A B7 E
Skippin' over the ocean like a stone


Repeat verse
Repeat chorus
B7 E
And I won't let you leave my love behind
And I won't let you leave my love behind

1. I pretty much like that song, save for the part where he whines

[cleofus1]

3. did you ever hear his song

fuck you...they don't play it on the radio

[NMMNG]

4. Yes, I've heard that song dozens of times

I grew up hearing it on the radio in the 70's and early 80's. It has a very mellow, flowing sound to it.





BTW, I could say "f*ck you too", but I won't.

breaking my heart...

did they actually play it on the radio...i was overseas during that time period and never really heard it...

and i do appreciate that you have more restraint and good taste than me...

[NMMNG]

Without You
Nilsson
E
Well I can't forget this evening
C#m
Or your face as you were leaving
A G#
But I guess that's just the way the story goes
C#m Cm7 A
You always smile, but in your heart your sorrow shows
E B
Yes it shows

E
Well, I can't forget tomorrow
C#m
When I think of all my sorrow
A G#
I had you there, but then I let you go
C#m Cm7 A
And now it's only fair that I should let you know
E B
What you should know


E
I can't live
C#m
If livin' is without you
A
I can't give
B
I can't give any more
E
I can't live
C#m
If livin' is without you
A
I can't give
B
I can't give any more
