The Critters' biggest hit (#17, October 1966).  Singer/composer Don Ciccone
would join the revamped Four Seasons lineup several years later; that's him
singing the 'I felt a rush...' bridge on 'December, 1963'.  -- AWR

Verse 1:

	Dmaj7
	Just a breeze will muss your hair
	Dm7                     G7
	But you smile away each little care
	Cmaj7
	And if the rain should make you blue
	Cm7              F7
	You say tomorrow is anew
	Bbmaj7
	Blue be your eyes, blonde your hair
	G9
	You realize beyond a care
	Cm
	Life's in a hurry, but
	Ebm
	You've got no worry, you're
	Bbmaj7/D       Dbdim(add A)   [x45355]
	So mystifyingly glad
	Cm7      F7       Bb   [1,2: Ab/Bb  A7   3: to coda]
	      [F13 F7+5 F7]	<= chords implied by melody line
	I'm Mr. Dieingly Sad

Verse 2:

	And when the leaves begin to fall
	Answering old winter's call
	I feel my tears, they fall like rain
	Weeping forth the sad refrain
	Blue, dark, and dim it may seem
	You mark a grin, a moonbeam
	Brightens your smile, pray tell me
	How all the while you can be
	So mystifyingly glad
	I'm Mr. Dieingly Sad

Bridge:

	         Dm7      G7              Cmaj9   C6
	You say "take my hand and walk with me
	Dm7        G7              Cmaj7   C6
	Wake this land and stop the sea
	 A7         Dm       Dm7
	[A7 Gm/A A+ Dm  Dm+7 Dm7]    <= chords implied by vocal harmonies
	Show me     love, unlock
	Dm7/G      G7
	      All doors
	Em7/A      A7
	      I'm yours"

Verse 3 (abbreviated):

	Then the tide rolls up to shore
	I whisper low, "I love you more
	More than even you could know"
	Adore me do so I could show
	[four lines omitted]
	I'm so mystifyingly glad
	Not Mr. Dieingly Sad

Coda:

	    Ab/Bb     Bb      Ab/Bb     Bb    [Bb on vibes]
	(Mr. Dieingly Sad) Mr. Dieingly Sad
