Stevie Wonder, Lately (1980)
Key: :[C] (w: Stevie Wonder)
INTRO: [C] [Am] [Fmaj7] [Dm7]
VERSE 1:
[C] Lately I have had this strangest
[Am] feeling
[Dm7] with no vivid reasons here to
[G] find
[Dm] Yet the thought of
[DmM7] losing you's been
[Dm7] hanging
[G] round my
[C] mind ^
[G]^
[C] ^
[G]^
[C]
VERSE 2:
[C] Far more frequently you're wearing
[Am] perfume
[Dm7] with you say, no special place to
[G] go
But
[Dm] when I ask will
[DmM7] you be coming
[Dm7] back soon
[G] you don't
[C] know, never
[C9] know
CHORUS:
[Dm] Well, I'm a man of many wishes,
[Fm] I hope my premonition misses
But
[Em7] what I really feel, my eyes won't
[A7] let me hide
Cause they
[Dm7] al-
[Em7]-ways
[Fm7] start
[G] to
[C] cry
Cause this
[Dm7] time
[Em7] could
[Fm7] mean
[G] good-
[C]-bye
[Am] [Fmaj7] [Dm7] [G]
VERSE 3:
[C] Lately I've been staring in the
[Am] mirror
[Dm7] very slowly picking me a-
[G]-part
[Dm] Tryin' to tell my-
[DmM7]-self I have no
[Dm7] reason
[G] with your heart
[C] ^
[G]^
[C] ^
[G]^
[C]
VERSE 4:
[C] Just the other night while you were
[Am] sleeping
[Dm7] I vaguely heard you whisper someone's
[G] name
But
[Dm] when I ask you of
[DmM7] the thoughts you're
[Dm7] keeping
[G] you just
[C] say, nothing's changed
[C/A#]
REPEAT CHORUS: [x2]
