Em7         G
   Down the Casbah way"
Dm   Am
  As soon as the Sharif was
Em7
Chauffeured outta there

The cockpit radio blare

As soon as the Sharif was
Em7
Out of their hair

The jet pilots wailed

My boyfriend is a huge softie and he loves this song so I’m gonna sing it to him wish me luck !

some rando

so i tried fixing some parts up since some of the parts didn’t really sound right so i hope this works out for some ppl who might be struggling!

F#m: 2-1-2-0
E7: 1-2-0-2

———————————————–

A
Everything you do it sends me
F#m
Higher than the moon with every
D
Twinkle in your eye
E7
You strike a match that lights my heart on fire 

A                             F#m
When youre near, I hide my blushing face
-F#m-           
And trip on my shoelaces 
D
Grace just isnt my forte
E7
But it brings me to my knees when you say 

   A     D       E7       A
Hello, how are you, my darling today?
          D           
I fall into a pile on the floor
           A      F#m
Puppy love is hard to ignore
   D                     E7    A  
When every little thing you do, I do adore 

————————————————-
          D
Every little thing, ba, ba, ba, ba
          A        F#m
Every little thing, ba, ba, ba, ba
   D               E7   A
Every little thing you do I do adore

my-taste-in-music-is-YOUR-FACE

I saw a really adorable animation of this on the internet (by Raineko, check them out!) and decided to learn this adorable lil song. However, I’m playing -2 and GMaj7 doesn’t sound quite right. Any tips? (^v^)

The Potato Friend

I use E7 instead of E. It sounds good and is easier.

random-gay-in-your-gc

So I’ve just realized something about me and later today I’m gonna sing this song to my crush that will hopefully get her to be my girlfriend x3 Thanks ukutabs!

Urlocalfrog

I’m here because of Voltron

T.P.G.

I wish it didnt just say ‘chorus’when it repeats that, because I need to see the chords and its tedious to scroll up to the chorus and then back down to where I was, but this is the only one with the right pitch

boi

personally i do F#m (2-1-2-0) instead of Amaj7 and E7 (1-2-0-2) instead of E just from listening to the song the note switch is more prominent than the chords listed

you are beautiful

My girlfriend sent me this song one time when I was sad and she told me this should be our song. I’m excited to play this for her

Hewo

Hey I’m a beginner and find it hard to play the E chord with my small hands so is there any easier chords I can use to replace it?
