The Grass Roots 1966 (P.F. Sloan / Steve Barri)

Capo II

Bb F C

C

C                    F
Don't bother crying, don't bother calling
C                  G
It's all over now, no use in stalling
    C
The love once I felt
        F
I don't feel anymore for you
C                   G
This time I'll even open the door for you
C                   C7
You walked out when I was down
      F
Well, now I'm well off
    D7                       G
And look, look who's coming 'round?

C          F
Where were you when I needed ya?
C          G
Where were you when I wanted ya?
C          F
Where were you when I needed ya?
Bb F C
Where?

C
You're looking good
F
It's hard to fight it
C
There's no use explaining
     G
I've already decided
     C
That living with you
     F
It s worse than without you
C                          G
I won't spend a lifetime a worrying about you
C                    C7
Things get rough and you disappeared
F
Now I'm back on my feet
    D7                         G
but look, look who is standing there?

C          F
Where were you when I needed ya?
C          G
Where were you when I wanted ya?
C          F
Where were you when I needed ya?
Bb F C
Where?

Harpsichord break

C                          F
When you were so young and you were so wild
C                        G
I knew you were nobody's innocent child
    C
The first day I saw you
    F
You really got to me
C
I thought I could change you
     G
What good did it do me?
C                    C7
Things got rough and you couldn't wait
F
Now you're tripping back
    D7                  G
But babe, babe it's too late

C          F
Where were you when I needed ya?
C          G
Where were you when I wanted ya?
C          F
Where were you when I needed ya?
Bb F C
Where?

C          F
Where were you when I needed ya?
C          G
Where were you when I wanted ya?
C          F                     Bb F C
Where were you when I needed ya?
