----------------------------.................

*from 'The Four Tops' Second Album' (1965)*


Intro:

Am

Verse 1:

       C
You're sweet as a honeybee,
           Dm7
But like a honeybee stings,
                F                G
You've gone and left my heart in pain.
        C
All you left is our favorite song,
    Dm7              F         G
The one we danced to all night long.
           C
It used to bring sweet memories,
     Dm7              F       G
Of a tender love that used to be.

Chorus 1:

             C        G
Now it's the same old song,
           Dm
But with a different meaning,
      G        F
Since you been gone.
         C        G
It's the same old song,
           Dm
But with a different meaning,
      G        F
Since you been gone.

Interlude:

Am
 Ah, oh a...

Verse 2:

            C
Sentimental fool am I,
   Dm7
To hear an old love song,
    F     G
And wanna cry.
        C
But the melody keeps haunting me,
   Dm7
Re-minding me,
       F               G
How in love we used to be.
     C
Keep hearing the part,
That used to touch our hearts,
           Dm7
Staying to-gether forever,
         F           G
Darling, breaking up never.

Chorus 2:

         C        G
It's the same old song,
           Dm
But with a different meaning,
      G        F
Since you been gone.
         C        G
It's the same old song,
           Dm
But with a different meaning,
      G        F
Since you been gone.

Interlude:

Am

Instrumental:

C, F  G, Dm  G  F (x2)

Verse 3:

         C
Precious memories,
Keep a lingering on,
Dm7
 Every time I hear,
    F        G
Our favorite song.
           C
Now you've gone,
Left this emptiness,
  Dm7
I only reminisce,
    F            G
The happiness we spent,
           C
We used to dance to the music,
(dance to the music),
        Dm7
Make ro-mance to the music,
         F            G
(Make ro-mance to the music).

Chorus 3:

             C        G
Now it's the same old song,
           Dm
But with a different meaning,
      G        F
Since you been gone.
             C        G
Now it's the same old song,
           Dm
But with a different meaning,
      G        F
Since you been gone.

Interlude:

Am
 Ah, oh...

Chorus 4:

             C        G
Now it's the same old song,
           Dm
But with a different meaning,
      G        F
Since you been gone.
             C        G
Now it's the same old song,
           Dm
But with a different meaning,
      G        F
Since you been gone.
