x"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:
G#m
The sound of your footsteps
F#
Telling me that you're near
A#m
Your soft gentle motion, babe
D#m C#
Brings out the need in me that no-body can hear, except
Chorus:
F# C#
In my midnight confessions
G#m C#
When I tell all the world that I love you
F# C#
In my midnight confessions
G#m C#
When I say all the things that I want to
[N.C.]
I love you
Bridge:
E B F# C#
But a little gold ring you wear on your hand makes me understand
E B F#
There's another before me, you'll never be mine
D#
I'm wasting my time
[repeat first four bars of intro, then 2/4 bar w/snare on 2]
Verse 2:
G#m
Staggering through the daytime
F#
Your image on my mind
A#m
Passing so close beside you babe
D#m C#
Sometimes the feelings are so hard to hide, but
F# C#
In my midnight confessions
G#m C#
I can tell all the world that I love you
F# C#
In my midnight confessions
G#m C#
I can say all the things that I want to
[N.C.]
I love you
