All My Loving

Close your [Dm]eyes and I'll [G7]kiss you
to[C]morrow I'll [Am]miss you,
re[F]member I'll a[Dm]lways be [Bb]true. [G]
And then [Dm]while I'm [G]away I'll write [C]home every [Am]day,
and I'll [F]send all my [G7]loving to [C]you.

{c:Chorus}
{soc}
All my [Am]loving - [C+]I will send to you[C]
all my [Am]loving, [C+]Darling I'll be [C]true.
{eoc}

I'll pretend that I'm kissing
the lips I am missing
and hope that my dreams will come true.
And then while I'm away I'll write home every day,
and I'll send all my loving to you.

{c:Chorus}

Close your eyes and I'll kiss you,
tomorrow I'll miss you,
remember I'll always be true
And then while I'm away I'll write home every day,
and I'll send all my loving to you.

{c:Chorus}

AND I LOVE HER
[Em]I give her [Bm]all my love
[Em]That's all I [Bm]do
[Em]And if you [Bm]saw my love
[G]You'd love her [A]too
I [D]love her

[Em]She gives me [Bm]everything
[Em]And tender[Bm]ly
[Em]The kiss my [Bm]lover brings
[G]She brings to [A]me
And I [D]love her

[Bm]A love like [D]ours, [Bm]could never [A]die
[Bm]As long as [A]I have you near me[A+D]

[Em]Bright are the [Bm]stars that shine
[Em]Dark is the [Bm]sky
[Em]I know this [Bm]love of mine 
[G]Will never [A]die
And I [D]love her.

{c:REPEAT LAST VERSE}

Can't Buy Me Love

Can't buy me l[G#m]ove   [C#m],     l[G#m]ove   [C#m],  can't buy me
l[F#m7]o------v[B7]e.

I'll [E]buy you a diamond ring my friend, if it [E7]makes you feel alright.
I'll [A7]get you anything my friend, if it [E]makes you feel alright.
For [B7]I don't care too [A7]much for money, for [B7]money can't [A7]buy me [E]love.

I'll give you all I've got to give, if you say you love me too.
I may not have a lot to give but what I've got I give to you.
For I don't care too much for money, for money can't buy me love.

{soc}
Can't buy me l[G#m]ove   [C#m],    e[A7]v'rybody tells me so.
[E] Can't buy me l[G#m]ove   [C#m],     [F#m7]no, no, no, [B7]no.
{eoc}

Say you don't need no diamond ring and I'll be satisfied.
Tell me that you want those kind of things that money just can't buy.
For I don't care too much for money, for money can't buy me love.

[G]A crowd of [Bm]people stood and [Em]stared, [C]they'd seen his [F]face before
[Em]Nobody was really sure if [E?]he was from the House of [C]Lords

[E]Grabbed my coat, and grabbed my hat, made the bus in seconds [D]flat
Found my [E]way upstairs and [F#m7]had a smoke, and [E]somebody spoke and I [F#m7]went in

[G]I read the [Bm]news today, oh [Em]boy, [C]four thousand [Em]holes in Blackburn [Am]Lac
anshire [Cmaj7]
[G]And though the [Bm]holes were rather [Em]small, [C]they had to [F]count them all
[Em]Now they know how many holes it [E?]takes to fill the Albert [C]Hall
I'd love to [Bm]turn .... [G]you .... [G?]on .... [E]

But of a[G]ll these friends and l[Em]overs,[G7]   there is [C]no [Cm]one comp[G]ares with you,
And these m[G]emories lose their m[Em]eaning,[G7]   when I th[C]ink of l[Cm]ove as s[G]omething new.
Though I k[Em]now I'll never lose aff[C]ection for p[F]eople and things that w[G]ent before,

The fingering for the G6add9 is a bit awkward so you may want to just play it as a G major chord, although it doesn't sound as good.




Nowhere Man

[C]He's a real [G]nowhere man,
[F]Sitting in his [C]nowhere land,
[F]Making all his [Fm]nowhere plans for [F]nobo[C]dy.[Bb]     [F]    [C]

[C]Doesn't have a [G]point of view,
[F]Knows not where he's [G]going to,
[F]Isn't he a [Fm]bit like you and [F]me?[C]

     Nowhere m[Em]an, please [F]listen,
     You don't [Em]know what you're [F]missing,
     Nowhere [Em]man, the [F]world is at your comman[G7]d.

He's as blind as he can be,
Just sees what he wants to see,
Nowhere man can you see me at all?

Doesn't have a point of view,
Knows not where he's going to,
Isn't he a bit like you and me?

     Nowhere man, don't worry,
     Take your time, don't hurry,
     Leave it all 'till somebody else lends you a hand.

He's a real nowhere man,
Sitting in his nowhere land,
[F]Making all his [Fm]nowhere plans for [F]nobo[C]dy.
[F]Making all his [Fm]nowhere plans for [C]nobody.

Please Please Me

[C]Last night I said these words to [F]my g[C]irl:
I know you never even t[F]ry g[C]irl.
Come [F]on, (come on), come [Dm]on, (come on), come [Am]on, (come on), come [F]on, (come on),
Please pl[C]ease me, oh y[F]eah, like [G]I please y[C]ou.

You don't need me to show the w[F]ay, l[C]ove.
Why do I always have to s[F]ay, lo[C]ve?
Come [F]on, (come on), come [Dm]on, (come on), come [Am]on, (come on), come [F]on, (come on),
Please pl[C]ease me, oh y[F]eah, like [G]I please y[C]ou.

[F]I don't want to sound complainin',
[G7]But you know there's always rain in m[C]y heart.  (In [F]my he[C]art)
[F]I do all the pleasin' with you, [G7]it's so hard to reason with y[C]ou, wo y[F]eah,
Why [G]do you make me bl[C]ue?

When I'm Sixty-Four

[G]When I get older, losing my hair, many years from [D7]now,
will you still be senting me a Valentine, birthday greetings, [G]bottle of wine?
If I'd been out 'till quarter to three, [G7]would you lock the [C]door?
Will you still [Eb7]need me, [G]will you still [E7]feed me, [A7]when
I'm [D7]sixty-[G]four?

{soc}
[Em]Hmm------[D]mmm------[Em]mmmh.
[Em]You'll be older, [B7]too. 
[Em]Aaah, and if you [Am]say the word, [C]I could [D7]stay with [G]you.

I could be handy, mending a fuse, when your lights have gone.
You can knit a sweater by the fireside, sunday mornings, go for a ride.
Doing the garden, digging the weeds, who could ask for more?
Will you still need me, will you still feed me, when I'm sixty four?

{soc}
Every summer we can rent a cottage in the Isle of Wight if it's not to dear. 
We shall scrimp and save.
Ah, grandchildren on your knee, Vera, Chuck, and Dave.
{eoc}

Send me a postcard, drop me a line stating point of view.
Indicate precisely what you mean to say, yours sincerely wasting away.
Give me your answer, fill in a form, mine forever more.
Will you still need me, will you still feed me, when I'm sixty four?
