Stevie Wonder, Lately (1980)
Key: :[B] (w: Stevie Wonder)
INTRO: [B] [Abm] [Emaj7] [Dbm7]
VERSE 1:
[B] Lately I have had this strangest
[Abm] feeling
[Dbm7] with no vivid reasons here to
[Gb] find
[Dbm] Yet the thought of
[DbmM7] losing you's been
[Dbm7] hanging
[Gb] round my
[B] mind ^
[Gb]^
[B] ^
[Gb]^
[B]
VERSE 2:
[B] Far more frequently you're wearing
[Abm] perfume
[Dbm7] with you say, no special place to
[Gb] go
But
[Dbm] when I ask will
[DbmM7] you be coming
[Dbm7] back soon
[Gb] you don't
[B] know, never
[B9] know
CHORUS:
[Dbm] Well, I'm a man of many wishes,
[Em] I hope my premonition misses
But
[D#m7] what I really feel, my eyes won't
[Ab7] let me hide
Cause they
[Dbm7] al-
[D#m7]-ways
[Em7] start
[Gb] to
[B] cry
Cause this
[Dbm7] time
[D#m7] could
[Em7] mean
[Gb] good-
[B]-bye
[Abm] [Emaj7] [Dbm7] [Gb]
VERSE 3:
[B] Lately I've been staring in the
[Abm] mirror
[Dbm7] very slowly picking me a-
[Gb]-part
[Dbm] Tryin' to tell my-
[DbmM7]-self I have no
[Dbm7] reason
[Gb] with your heart
[B] ^
[Gb]^
[B] ^
[Gb]^
[B]
VERSE 4:
[B] Just the other night while you were
[Abm] sleeping
[Dbm7] I vaguely heard you whisper someone's
[Gb] name
But
[Dbm] when I ask you of
[DbmM7] the thoughts you're
[Dbm7] keeping
[Gb] you just
[B] say, nothing's changed
[B/A]
REPEAT CHORUS: [x2]
